Makes me sad to read about Hornady having these kind of tool QC issues.
I only have a couple of specialty dies from them and don't really use them as intended...... I have an 8×57 neck die I use for cast in a fat bore 7.7×58 . Short version, w/o the expander it's sizes the neck just right for the .317 cast .
Seems strange to read about dies that aren't Lee needing final QC and repair to work or continue working that are so new . Maybe I've been spoiled having so many old tools .
