Die shaving case, thoughts?

I am in...but...polish with and add radius how? I am limited to elbow grease, a dremel (arrrgh) and well, elbow grease...
I just use a cotton swab that came with an Outers cleaning kit with a little bit of Flitz metal polish on it and chuck it in a drill.....
 
Is it a steel or carbide die ?
I am not aware of a carbide die for 30 Herrett. Are you?

I ran into the same issue of a die scraping brass during sizing when I made a sizing die for a 204x45 cartridge. It was a very hard steel die. Stoning a bevel took care of the issue. I polished with both 600 grit sandpaper and 1000 grit sandpaper from Walmart, found in the auto body section.

I can also fix your die if you need to send it out. Im in Iowa. Send with returnnpostage and I will fix it for free.
You can fix it with a drill and 6-800 grit sand paper. Just break that lead edge and if the die is not scarred on the inside you will be good to go. Its not showing up on the new brass due to being undersized prior to fire form
