Re: Hornady titanium nitride 45 auto die problems
As I said in my first post, Hornady sent me a new sleeve. It was machined the exact same way so I just polished it down a bit. Works well now.
I find it hard to believe that the replacement part was machined as poorly as the original part. Unless Hornady built thousands of the sleeves a few years back and they are still pulling from the same inventory.
As always, I accept the fact that I may be doing something wrong, but neither I nor some of my reloading friends could figure it out.With great power comes great responsibility....

Re: Hornady titanium nitride 45 auto die problems
You didn't say what your measuring with, but in setting a crimp I use a micrometer, caliper won't do. Very useful and money well spent. I seat the bullet to length desired with out crimp, pull the seating stem back so it won't seat the bullet any further and measure as I set the crimp a bit at a time.
In your pics something is shaving the end of your case. Could be as you suspect the die itself or a severe over crimp.
Without my notes it seems I remember using a crimp around .470. I shoot mainly lead.
