RCBS Dies

[Snagglepuss]

Hi all, I am starting to put together the items I need to begin reloading and handloading. My first purchase was the Speer Manual 13, which I plan to go through tonite. I have been picking up parts here and there on Ebay and the online forums. I have run across an easy question. What is the difference, if any, between the green box and grey box RCBS dies? I am buying carbide dies and have gotten them in the green and grey so I don't think that is the difference. Can someone answer this simple question? Thanks

RCBS just went to a different color. I also have both color boxes.

My new in the box Carbides have always been in a gray box since about 1983.

yes, the difference is one is Carbide dies and the other is steel. The Carbide ones usually run about 10 bucks more

I have carbide and regular dies in both colors.

One of the sets of carbide dies I have purchased came in a green box. The RCBS label stated they are carbide. I guess the color probably doesn't make a difference. Thanks for the replies.
