Recently I came into two sets of reloading dies for the same caliber (32 WS).
I notice that sizing cases in the RCBS dies requires noticeably more effort than sizing the same cases in a Lee die of the same caliber.
So I sent the ID prongs of my digital caliper into the two different dies and took readings at the same depth - about 5/8".
Sure enough, the Lee die is 0.0055" larger than the RCBS die at the point where I measured.
Is such a difference common? Is there any reason I should contact the companies?
Aside from measuring a FL-sized case and hoping for zero spring-back, I have no way of comparing to specs for that caliber.
Thanks

Edit: I lube cases with Imperial Wax - nothing to find fault with there.
