I just got a set of Hornady Custom .380 dies, I was setting up the dies so I can get my load on. But I noticed that the sizing die was scuffing the brass pretty bad. I'm new at all this, but this didn't seem right to me. My Lee Carbide .38 SPL dies do not scuff at all. The Hornady are supposedly Titanium coated. Is this normal? I don't want to size a 100 new Starline cases, if I'm doing any damage to them.
The case on the left has not been sized, the two on the right have been put through the sizer. The arrows are where the scuffs stop, I did clean it when I received it, and it looks clean inside.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks - TDH
