does Brass

need to be resized as well?

Apparently you can buy the undersize dies from EVOLUTION GUN WORKS for about $35 a piece and they are carbide dies that are undersized .001 and also are magically able to go lower on the shell and thus eliminates the glocked brass. You can get them for .40/10, 9/380 and .45.

This is a relatively new die that came out and I think they made it becauase folks were not wanting to spend $75+ for a redding GRX carbide die (the Steel are about half as much, but why bother when you can buy an undersizing die for a buck or two less and just replace your normal resizing die?) so yeah...

Generally, brass needs to be resized I order to work.

I put together the bulge buster on my own by getting a Lee FCD in .40 and then removing the guts. I thought it was carbide but I could be wrong, but I did end up deglocking a few of them. I took a 50 AE shell that I accidently destroyed by not lubing right and cut the end off then dropped that into the 40 FCD and it held pretty decently to keep shells from touching the threads.

But now I have a Carbide EGW die and I replaced the 40/10 on the turret with it so I will see what happens when I start loading for .40/ 10mm again. I want to buy another few thousand shells for 10mm before I start loading for it.
