Hornady die issue

Heavy Metal 1 · February 10, 2019, 02:54 PM

Yesterday I bought a Hornady die set at a gunshow and after I got home I see that the spindle is bent some such that the expander & decapper pin are not centered. It is not grossly bent, but noticeable. Will Hornady send me a new zip spindle?

No big deal, remove it and straighten it. If it's not really bad then you can just run it into a case and it will straighten itself. If that doesn't do it then order a new one from Hornady.

If you call Hornady they will probably send you two of them like they did for me, no charge.
