Stumped. Small base .223 RCBS sizing die.
Squeaky clean and dry inside. Looked for the "vent hole" to clear but this die does not have one. Reinstalled die per directions - touching shell holder, another 1/8 turn, locked in place, expander down to about 1/4" past the bottom of the die.
Lubing with Hornady Unique case lube. Being very careful to apply a very small amount and not get it on the neck/shoulder.
Besides cleaning the die I tried raising & lowering it and raising & lowering the decapping pin/expander.
If I raise the die body the dent is much smaller but still there. Raising it up sort of defeats the purpose of using a SB die I think
