I think not, they sell die blanks and they don't need hardening. I don't really want to test mine for hardness... Your gunsmith would know, or email LE Wilson

No they aren't...they are fairly soft...have had them reamed by a gunsmith who forgot to put a chamfer on the bottom of the die and had to machine it myself...cut like butter.
