Up date on Hornady dies:

Less then 300 rounds and ran into troubles AGAIN.

De-primer pin is to short to consistently de prime the cases 100% of the time most cases I had to double stroke the press to un seat the primers. Even when lower to touch the rim of the brass ( Something I have NEVER had to do)

Neck ex-pander button worked fine for about 100 cases (must be made of cheap metal) as I needed to expand the remainder of the cases with my custom built neck flaring tool so added an extra step

Fortunately I had my spare RCBS dies waiting in the wings.....500 rounds not a problem, no double, triple strokes, no ex-pander issues, no bullet seating issues.

Might be just my bad luck but never again Hornady.
