Just call Lee and ask them. They will probably tell you to return it for repair without charge. Then it' s only postage. Most companies in the reloading business are very helpful. Do not dig around in the die and scatch it. Also get a can of spray lube, a neck cleaning brush and some Imperial Die Wax. The IDW is especially good for heavy duty sizing or just neck sizing where you don' t need to lube the whole case.
