At http://www.midwayusa.com I'm looking at the newest master catalog (#2). pp 60, RCBS 3-die set, #119-645 $30.99. At $30, I assume these are steel, not carbide. pp 57, Lyman 3-Die set #294-612 (says this is a steel die set, not carbide), price is about the same. No carbide listed that I can see. If you can't get the carbide, maybe these will do. HTH
