Does Lee make this set (or any other .308 Win) with a carbide full length sizer?

There are a few companies that make carbide neck size dies. Dillon makes carbide full length sizers, but these still require case lube, they are designed to last a long time in commercial progressive applicationsRedding,

Carbide dies are always in straight wall case calibers. I have not seen any in cartridges that are bottle necked

Lee does not make a .308 Winchester carbide resizing die. Dillon does, however it is extremely expensive: over $150 for the resizing die. $150 will buy you a lot of case lube.

Sorry, I used a Chinese model 53 Carbine Mosin Nagant Style Rifle, Had to do some sanding/Grinding for it to Fit Like I wanted. I have a Hex Barrel 91/30 and the original stock is pretty decent, All serial numbers match,The Hex Receiver is worth more as a collectors Gun, leave it as is,if you can.

As long as you have the dies for that size. The Lee Loadmasters is a decent press, just need a little finesse during setup. Mine work flawlessly, 6 months and 7000 rds so far.

According to Midway USA and Lee manual, yes you can load 40 S&W; and/or 10mm with this die set.

Lee makes a 300 H&H; mag die and I am pretty sure this hand press will reload that cal. It is a pretty universal system as long as you have the die set.

They are steel dies. Carbide is not necessary for 30.06. They are very accurate dies and well with the money

There is a re sizing die in kit how ever I think your looking for a Lee sizer and lube die for cast bullets that way can lube and install gas check cap I have seen the lube and die kit for press on Amazon while back for around 40 bucks that will suit your needs better. A lot of casters sell cast bullets gas checked if wanting to shoot magnum loads if casting your own that's great to. Have fun and safe reloadinng

No one makes a "full" carbide FL sizing die for rifles. The expander ball is the only carbide part of those dies (rifle "carbide" dies will still tell you to lube during use) Right now the only true full length carbide sizing dies are for straight wall cartridges (i.e. most pistol cartridges).

I use lee .223 dies and rcbs .308 on my lees press. So, yes they will interchange. Make sure they are 7/8" dies.

I would say no because different companies use different numbering systems and maybe even offsets for the thru holes. Lee has some excellent products including shell holders and carbide dies. I just matched everything to Lee products and could't be happier. But, I had no pre-owned shell-holders for the caliber I started reloading with the handpress. Hope this helps. I like the Lee products myself.

Rifle sizing dies are usually not carbide, This one IS NOT carbide. The stem or expander is. This die is very accurate and worked faultlessly for me. I sure spray on case lubrication. No stuck cases.

If that is the size of the standard Lee die then yes it does. I would have to measure but from what I understand it takes the standard size die.

I actually contacted Lee directly and asked about carbide dies. The response I got on 6/6/14 from Lee Precision Support <info@leeprecision.com> was, "We do not manufacture ANY carbide rifle dies, especially for a bottle neck case. Neck sizing dies do not require lube, that is available in the Ultimate die set, I think this is what confused you."

For a pistol round, the Lee deluxe carbide 4 die set is hard to beat. The carbide bit means that you don't need to lubricate each case, although a bit of lube on a case every so often doesn't hurt. The 4 die set also helps in learning the stages of reloading, by splitting the job of bullet seating and crimping into 2 stages. In a 3 die set the two are combined. The Lee Factory crimp die, in the 4 die, set also resizes the case and eliminates any case bulge left from inserting the bullet, which will help with feeding in an auto pistol.

There are 2 sizing dies. One for use with brass already fired in your rifle, and the other for brass used in other guns. It's a bit more complicated to use, but I wish I could exchange my other dies for the Lee Precision Deluxe.

I'm not sure if 308 magazines will fit, I've only ever had 5.56/223 magazines! Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful.
