RedlandsShooter Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Any real life experience out there on how much brass a 9mm Lee carbide undersized-sizing/decapping die will process before it starts to go out of tolerance? It only sees wet tumbled/lubed brass if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwray Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 There is really no telling. You probably won’t wear the die out. Now the decapping pin you could kill at any moment. Get some spares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I don't think i have ever had one get out of tolerance, but i have had a 9mm and a 44 mag break the carbide rings. Kinda like it was either fine or broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu13 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I doubt you will ever wear the die out. I run the Lee 9MM U die on a RL1050 and have well over 70K rounds through it so far with no issues. I wet tumble with SS pins and lube brass as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Per reading about factory ammo, they get several million rounds through the carbide before replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
