How much should I offer for these? There is a shell holder with them.

    How do I tell if they are steel or carbide?

    The sizing die will be the only one that is carbide. You can tell if a die is carbide by looking at the end of the die, the carbide will be a sleeve inside the steel. The carbide is darker. I can tell you though, that the sizing die in that set is not carbide.

    $10-15, someone will still want to get a carbide die so they don't have to mess with lube.

    On a side note, do you have standard rings to put on that set? Or better yet, I would trade you those rings for a set of locking rings that I have. Those rings work better for my press then other locking rings do.

    Oh, and those rings are 4.80 from forester.

    They are steel. If you want carbide, buy carbide, like a used set of RCBS. These Bonanza dies are $15 to $20. If I saw them for $15 dollars I would buy them just for the rings. I have a Forester press and it seems that I am always short of the rings.
