Yes, I can relate. My Hornady New Dimension dies have given me fits. I finally bought a FCD and that fixed the problem I was having. I ended up using a mix of the Hornady sizing die and the FCD to size my cases. It worked but it adds a step.

If you are loading larger than "normal"(whatever that is) diameter bullets there's a chance it will size your bullets down. If it does AND you still want to use it, you can polish the ring out a little so it matches your bullet diameter. You will need to keep the barrel and gauge nearby to verify the fit.

I guess I could polish my Hornady sizing die to open it up a little, but I don't want to damage the Titanium.
