how do you wear out a die
I am not sure, but I will bet that some have but not me. I have a couple of dies near 50 and several in there 40's I don't shoot much for small game so I am only loading a couple hundred rounds average per rifle per year. Have you used a magnifying glass and bright light to inspect the inside of the die. I know that you have cleaned them because that was in an earlier post. I would consider sending them back to the manufacture with a case, narrative, etc. and see what they say or can do!!!!
