Unless you need to load more than 100,000 rounds of 223, the steel dies are fine, and in stock. The carbide rifle dies do offer a longer lifespan, about 900,000+ rounds or more. And they are more scratch resistant. However, case lube is still mandatory when sizing bottleneck cases, even with a carbide die. 

 For handgun dies, we are very supportive of Redding dies. For cartridges we don't make dies for, we sell a selection of Redding dies, along with a couple RCBS sets. Both make a quality product. However, any brand of dies will work, as long as they are the standard 7/8-14 thread size, and they deprime in the size die. Some older handgun dies would resize only in one die, then deprime and flare the case mouth in a second die. On other brands of handgun dies, you won't use the expander die, as this function is performed by the powder measure on Dillon equipment.

All,

Thanks much for all the discussion.  So much to learn...

I decided on the Redding Carbide Pro-Series 9mm dies for now.

I just needed something to get started and continue down the learning curve.

They were available and have already arrived!
