FYI, Before I started using my dies I did clean them.
I just loaded 10mm for the first time. My press is a Dillon 750, my cases are New Starline 10mm Cases, my sizing die is a Mighty Armory, the seating die is a Dillon, and my crimping die is a Lee Taper Crimp Die.
On my return stroke I am hearing a noise from my crimp die and a pop as it exits the die. Inspecting the crimped cases I found scratches all around the case mouth in a full 360 degrees.
I use Lee crimp Dies for all of my set ups and I have never had any issues with any of Lee's products or Dies. I did open up a ticket with Lee this morning asking them to replace my die.
Anyone else ever have a problem like this with Lee Crimp Die? I suspect the die needs to be polished but I feel that it should be done by Lee, and not me.
