45-70 carbide dies?

[jethunter]

Gonna start loading 45-70 now, and need a set of dies. Does anyone make a 45-70 die set that has a carbide resizing die? I haven't seen it in the description for the die sets i've looked at so far.

"...anyone make..." Nope.

Typically a carbide sizer has a carbide ring that a straight wall cartridge passes through, resizing it, but so called straight wall rifle cartridges have too much tapper for this to work, so AFAIK there are no carbide sizers for them.

Thanks, good explanation.
