Poor attention to detail........

I own and use Lee dies & tools as well as RCBS, Lyman and Hornady. I've been reloading for 30+ years and have been through the learning curve many times. Lee needs to revisit the .458 SOCOM geometry and redesign the bullet seating/case crimping die. Bought the 3 die set new a lttle over a month ago and now that I need to produce a volume of ammo for my latest AR, I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the bullet seating crimp die. The usual fine adjustments setting the depth and staying in place are GONE bye bye, the entire geometry of the die SUX, I have had to back the adjustment screw out to the point it has been spit out of the die by a bullet when attemting to seat bullets to recommended depths. Crimping is still as good as Lee has done over the years but the seating geometryof this .458 SOCOM is the WORST i have ever attempted to work with in all years I have been assembling ammunitions.
