Greetings all. Just ordered some carbide 3-die RCBS .38 Special dies, and was generally curious--will these dies restrict me to loading certian types of bullets? I have an older set of .38 dies (came with my setup, long story) that are the old "lube every round" type of dies, but those are speficially setup to load WC only--which is fine, I have several hundred WC bullets that also came with my setup. My query is, will these incoming Carbide Dies limit me to LRN only, WC only, HP only, or is it more of an "anything goes"? And, after getting the hang of solo-loading my own rounds, would it be inadvisable to switch to the old "lube die" set that includes the seater for WC after doing the other steps with my carbide dies, or would I still need to lube the round, or.....?
Sorry, it's a lot of questions, but it's all good stuff to know.
