It seems to me that RCBS, (am I right?), should step up to the plate and make this problem go away. I believe I would call them as opposed to email. Maybe follow up with a hard copy letter via snail mail.

My first set of dies were a used set of CH tools. I was not impressed with the machine work and the previous owner had treated them poorly. I re-sold them at a loss, (the price one pays for honesty), and purchased a set of RCBS dies.

I've only been loading the 500 NE for several months now, but I'm very pleased with the dies. I did have a new seater plug machined to better fit the Hawk 600s that I shoot so much as the factory plug was mashing the soft nose of the bullet more than I thought necessary.

Hope this works for out for you... keep us posted.
