i just bought a box of used misc. reloading stuff at my gunshop. a pacfic press, lyman dies in 30.06 and 243, rcbs trim dies for 30.06 and 243, rcbs dies in 357mag, and 30-30 dies with a CH emblem that i didn't recognize, and a powder dispenser missing parts that i think came off a shot shell reloader. most of it is in pretty rough shape but the price was right. 35 bucks.
i've been reloading for .243 for awhile now so i know what i'm doing, just have some questions about this stuff.
1. what are trim dies? never heard of them before.
2. how can you tell if the dies are carbide or not. most of them look like stainless, my old dies have a matte finish, these ones i just got look polished, almost like chrome.
thanks for your help!
