Thanks,
The dies in question are 8 yrs old. They have produced many thousands of really good ammo in the past. Still do as a matter of fact, all ammo from these dies work in any other pistol. One of my first thoughts was that after 10's of thousands of rounds, the die wore out. I did call Hornady. They said that if the die was bad, it wouldn't leave a (perfect) ring, it would be non-uniform in pattern. Seems to me that it would wear evenly around...IDK.
