Help with 45lc Lee dies
I have a set of 45lc dies.but they don't look like anything I've seen on there website. The bottom of one looks like a star. I'd post a pic but can't figure out how to.

IF its carbide dies the carbide part of the sizing die may be broken.

Looks like a star?

As in six or seven points instead of threads? Are you sure it doesn't have a bushing on the one die? Like a Hornady keyed die? They push down and lock with a twist instead of screwing in.

It may be in not sure it's a 3 die set. But 2 of the dies look exactly alike just one looks like a star On the bottom. 1 die looks different it says Lee on it.

"Looks like a star" is not enough information.

How many points dos the star have?

Star shaped opening in the base?

Resembles Scarlett Johansson?

Is a spherical flaming ball of burning Hydrogen plasma?
