Greetings all and a Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Ive been reloading for some time now but have recently moved into .45ACP and have a question. When I bought my Redding T7 turret press some years ago it came with a set of Redding 45ACP & AR dies Series A (3 dies) - its their product number 80189. Never had any use for them so they sat on the shelf.
Now that I have a use for them my question is really simple - are these carbide lined dies? Or will I have to lube the cases (in which case I'll just buy a set of carbide since I cant see going to all the extra trouble on a straight wall pistol case).
I tried calling Redding but they are closed for Thanksgiving/Deer season so I'm stuck with a new gun, a new calibre, all the components I need and this question. Sure hope someone can help with an answer or a way to findout.
TIA
