Is this die for .223 remington? Is a carbide sizing die included?

Yes its 223 Rem. There is a full length sizing die but it requires case lube like all rifle calibers. I don't believe most rifle sizing dies are carbide because the brass is not straight walled like many pistol calibers. This set is what i use to load for a semi automatic rifle in .223

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."

Some dies have a carbide expander plug. Goes inside the case to size the very top where the bullet is seated. This eliminates the need to lube the inside of the case. plus is said the case lasts longer. Lyman makes a set so equipped.

James,It looks like the one I purchased. Mine has a steel sizing die not carbide. I use lube and have had no problems. I have put about 500 rounds together with them with no problem. I have been happy, good tolerance to spec, built like a tank. Hope this helps. Mike

James, This set is for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. The resizing die is not carbide, so you will need to lube your cases. This set does have the factory crimp die that you would usually need to buy separate. Its a very good set. I have two of these sets and have not had one problem. Hope this helps.

No, you have to get the specific dies for the caliber you are loading separately.

Hi Jerryc321, The short answer is yes. The die sets for .223 and 5.56 are exactly the same. This includes, Full Length Sizing/Decapping die, Bullet Seating die, Factory Crimp Die. Good shootin!

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 bought this press specifically for .223 no issues. You will need additional set of disk for the powder measure.

Wow, not sure, bought it for my Remington but I don't want to say yes, sorry!

the 223 die set (or any caliber set)goes with a press and is the precision tool for decapping, case sizing, priming, charging with powder seating and crimping the bullet. Before you start get one or more reloading manuals, read it study it and learn. Rewarding done right, dangerous if you make mistakes.

No john your deprimer is part of your " resizing and depriming die". Usually all die sets come with this die specific to your caliber.

The model I got is specific to the AR15 magazine .223/5.56. There are other models for other magazines / caliber rounds.

In the Lyman 3 die carbide die set only the sizing die is marked TC for tungston carbide, the neck expanding and bullet seating dies are not and due to their function do not need to be carbide. The sizing die gets the hard use and carbide usually allows you to resize with out lube if the cases are clean. If need be you can tumble your brass first. I use a Lyman tumbler beacause it is "MADE IN USA" to the best of my knowledge .

yes. and be careful, they sent me the one for a slightly smaller ammo and it would not work well with 223. mine also jammed and I traded it with the correct one which does work better but jams also.

I have both a Lyman and an RCBS press. I have never had a problem with dies fitting either press. I believe that dies all meet some industry standard for threads. I have never found one in the past 20 years for reloading that was a different thread. I also own those dies and they fit my Lyman press.

See previous answer, however if you have older dies be sure to get the small ones for 223/5.56.

I am not familiar with that model. Sorry! Suggest an e-mail or call to Remington company.

I bought mine for 308 but I tried a 223 and it seems to be too loose. It's a easy fix because the loops are on a Velcro pad that can be removed and then the loops can be re-stitched to fit.

No reloading dies are included. You buy them separately $35-50 specifically for the caliber you reload/shoot.
