A big win, they last forever (well almost), but regular dies should last a long while too (longer than those 150 cases would last anyway).

(I've used >the same 150 cases since I've had the thing.) Perhaps it's time to spring for some new cases. If you start to use cast bullets you'll want to eventually anyway. -- Stephen C.
