Tungsten insert came out?!?!?

I was wondering if the sent one to you thAt got lost?

Honestly, I can't say that their service is great.

But the fact is that if you sent that defective Lyman die to rcbs with a note explAining the whole story, there. Is a decent chance that they'd replace it for with one of their own!

Not that I suggest it. You could always email rcbs, give them the story, ad So them how to fix it. They will hep you out somehow, I think.
 
If they sent me one and it got lost I'd be flabbergasted because they'd have to track me down. I haven't given them any of my information as far as mailing address goes. Wishful thinking I suppose.
 
Update

Heard from Lyman today...expected results, they will not replace the die outright, 1 year warranty. Tthey have offered a discounted replacement but I'm weighing my options.

I didn't ask what the discount would be, shame on me, but I had to get back to the daily grind.

I'll make another update with details at a later point.

It reminds me about the problem with head space gages, humans make gages, I am a human; therefore I can make a head space gage and a case gage and a comparator. Then there are gages for sorting cases by length.

I have never been under the impression gages are made on Mars. When it comes to sticking that ring back into the die it would take me less time to do it than it would take to talk about it.

There are many reloaders that claim they have R. Lee’s book on modern reloading, he has a section about his dies when compared to dies made by his competition. In that section most should consider the information is about product knowledge. At the time the book was published the ring coming out of the die body had to be a common occurrence because the way R. Lee approached the problem led me to believe it happened to all manufacturers except Lee dies.

I need to get a copy of that chapter. It's possible that this die was manufactured at the time of the printing of that book. The die was part of a package purchased in the early '80s.

You might consider a copy of the whole book. It's a worthwhile read of his experiences.

Again, I would consider Loctite's products made for this kind of purpose.
 
Unclenick, now that I know that the die is not going anywhere, I'm working on sourcing that Loctite 648. The housing is still pretty tight so hopefully it'll hold.

I've been following this thread to see what Lyman's disappointingly slow response would be. It appears that Lyman has become the exception among reloading equipment suppliers and now no longer stands behind its products. I guess I'll be sending my business elsewhere in the future.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought too. I have always been a Lyman fan, but I think I may start avoiding them now.
 
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but I have to say I probably will shy away from their dies in the future. 1 year warranty only. Those Hornady and RCBS dies look quite nice, as well as that LNL AP... I am no fanboy for anybody.
