After having 3/4 of a .17 Hornet brass stick in my sizing die and all efforts to pull it out failed I sent the die off to Hornady for them to get it out for me. To my surprise they did not pull it out but just sent me a new one. Thanks Hornady! But I quickly noticed that this die has a small (cannot fit a toothpick into it) hole in the body of the die about halfway up. I wonder if they had problems with this brass sticking in their dies and now the replacement dies have this tiny hole in them for a reason. Is it a vent hole for air or perhaps for excessive lube to escape or what? Never seen this before.
Anyone got a clue?
