First off this is my first post here at Sniper's Hide. There's a wealth of information here and I'm happy to have found it.
I've recently started diving into the world of reloading and have tried my best to do my due diligence of reading the in's and out's of do's and don'ts.
Recently I've been lucky enough to pick up a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme reloading kit along with a digital scale, calipers, and a ammo box that holds 338 Lapua both bullet up and down.
Now the question here is this: I ordered a set of 338 Lapua dies that were in stock (see here) because I thought it was all I was going to be able to find for a while. While, Murphy's Law be as it may I found a Lyman carbide set (see here) and ordered them as well incase they went out of stock.
Now I've read that carbide is more desirable than regular dies due to the fact that you no longer need to lube the brass during the process of reloading. That being said, only one of the dies is listed as being carbide. I know Redding and Forester seem to be THE dies to have around here but for now I'm going with what I can get my hands on.
For those of you looking for the question and no bs read below.
Should I return the Lyman die set or the Lee set?
Thanks for all the help you guys have already given me without even realizing it, hope to have a good time here!
