Always buy carbide dies you don't have to lube cases that way. I have a Hornady progressive for 45 acp,38 spl,357 mag and a RCBS single stage for rifles and 45 colt. Don't buy nickle plated brass for 45 colt they wont hold up to hotter handloads (but they do look good in the western bullet belt LOL) Often you can buy used but have someone you can trust look too, presses do wear out,I would buy new dies used oes can be damaged.
