Wow, hard to imagine an RCBS die cracking. Been using the same RCBS dies since the early 70's. However never used small base dies.
The "cam over" post raised an interesting point. My press is so old that it has a lot of play in the linkages, and I have to cam over to even obtain zero bump. Yet the dies have never cracked. I'll be following this one to see the outcome. I have F/L sized thousands of 243 and 308 and never had a problem or stuck case using Imperial Sizing Wax.
Regarding RCBS customer service, it has always been outstanding in my 50+ years of dealing with them. But nothing lasts forever and that would one change I would hate to see happen, not so much for me since I am in the winter of my shooting vocation, but new shooters entering the sport.
Let us know the results.
