Anyone have any idea what the life expectancy is on a set of carbide dies? Specifically Lee 9 mm? I haven't had any problems over the years reloading 9 mm and the last batch then I reloaded I had several rounds that my dies would not remove the Bulge at the web. I've probably put 10000+ rounds through the die. I'm wondering if my die hasn't worn out. I know you can't use the Bulge Buster for 9 mm so I'm thinking maybe I need to buy a new sizing die?
