I was using a lee Collet body die to size some winchester .308 brass the other day and I somehow popped the cap off the die, stripping the threads off the cap in the process. This happened on brass piece 49 out of 50.. and I used the same action and force as I did with every other piece before it, fortunately I had a spare and was able to finish.
I set it correctly via lee's instructions and it worked really well up to point of failure.
is this a common issue with lee dies?
and what should I do in future to ensure this doesn't happen?
