laker,
One way to over come this without the buying a die is to take a shell holder and have your smith take .005 off the top.
This will allow you to "goose" the case up into the die just enough to get the case to "fit".After the case have been fired once.you can get back to a normal shell holder..
Much cheeper than a new die.
Im thinking Redding has adjusted shell holders....
