380 carbide die set info

I haven't purchased new dies in awhile. Which company makes a good .380 CARBIDE die set? I always bought RCBS, but just asking. Thanks!

I have RCBS in everything carbide in pistol calibers and they have served me well. I am very satiafied with them and Rcbs service line.

I'm using the Lee 380 Carbide Dies with Factory Crimp Die and they do a great job for me.

I'm an RCBS guy but I did buy a set of Hornady dies for the 38. While I like the seater die adjustment better on the Hornady I think the RCBS sizer die is a lot smoother then Hornady. I can size 44 mags with RCBS easier then 38 with the Hornady dies. I do have a set of 380 Hornady dies on back order though. While I own Lee crimp dies, bullet molds and push through bullet sizing dies I just can't bring myself to buy there reloading die sets.

I'm using the Lee 380 Carbide Dies with Factory Crimp Die and they do a great job for me.Likewise. Have never had a problem with any of my Lee die sets.

RCBS dies worked for me just fine.

I have a carbide set from RCBS and they have served me well. I own both RCBS and Hornady and like them both.

Yes I can spell, I just can't type!
