Call RCBS. If you don't want to wait, hammer it straight and continue to use it. Been there, done that.

Make a new one out of a grade 8 bolt and don't look back.... that's what I did after getting 3 replacements from big green. The metal they use is just too damn soft.
I took the bent one to ACE hardware and found a grade 8 bolt that would be long enough. I cut it to length and turned it down with a file in my drill to make it fit inside the 223 case mouth. Over 3k pockets swaged and still kicking...

You want it to look like this when you're done. I went just far enough so a 223 went over it nice and smooth. ![[Linked Image]](http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad268/boxerluvjen/DSC_0278.jpg) RCBS didn't think the improvement in materials a good one, so you'll keep getting schitt if you keep getting the factory replacements.
