6.5x52 Carcano die set trouble

[Matt85]

I've been having tons of trouble with my Lee die set! First the shell holder is too loose and has been damaging rims. Then the primer punch pulled out inside a case. Now a case is stuck inside the sizing die with the rim of the case completely ripped off. The cases have been lubed but the sizing die just seems to be too rough.

I solved the shell holder issue by buying a Hornady #21 which fits much better. But where can I find a better sizing die?

Thank you

You get what you pay for there. Lee is cheaper for a reason. RCBS makes them, albeit in custom. RCBS Special Order Reloading Dies | Huntington Die Specialties

Thank you, I will give them a call.
