Note: Not a good idead to give a Dillon Carbide Full length sizing .223 die to your mate to tickle up 5 thou off on the lathe WITHOUT telling him its Carbide. Apparently it wrecks the tools or something.

I am no lathe expert but lathe tooling is far from cheap.I have more money in tooling and inserts than the cost of the lathe
