I once split an RCBS trim die when resizing mil surp .308, i sent them a photo and they sent me a new one. Not bad for a second hand die i bought off here that was maybe 20 years old.

I have seen one where the whole top of the collet nut was broken off by over zealous tightening leaving the threaded section stuck in the die. The decapping rod never moved again.
