Doing the math
If I have done the math...I think I can use a 38 Super carbide resizing die to size my 38 S&W and not go through the mess of using lube....am I correct?

If I am doing the math correctly, a reloading die is threaded 7/8 - 14. So if I divide one complete turn of the die into 16 parts, each 1/16 of a turn should advance the die downward about .0045 of a inch. Correct? 0 -
Assuming there is no wear on either the dies or the press and you are not tightening the die into place, yes, that's an accurate statement.
Given the real world of wear on threads and tightening the die into the press, I would allow a plus or minus 0.002 inch on that figure though.

Why not just use a depth gauge??

While those are all very nice pieces, I'm thinking he didn't want to spend the money.0 -
Sandwarrior you are absolutely right on, the guages are just to much money. I can live with + or - .002. I am not shooting benchrest. 0
