The case is tapered.

I can't remember who does, but there is one mfg that makes them, but IMO, they aren't worth the trouble to use. In reading their sizing instruction, you still need to lube the cases. That to me, would indicate that carbide dies for anything other than straight wall cases are a waste of time and money.

You may try a search here, and find the topic/thread that discussed this a few months back.

This same question came up about 1-2 months ago. Like previous poster said, I think the case is too tapered to make a carbide die for. No die maker I know of makes a carbide 45-70 sizer.
