Both of the above have happened to me. On the seater plug I put some course valve compound on a bullet chucked in an electric drill, then followed up with fine compound and then Flitz.

The crimper on RCBS dies have given me fits when I over adjusted them. I have even buckled case necks due to operator error.

A dirty die will also do this.
