My .357 is smashing the noses flat on the 358311 bullets I just cast.
Seams like seater stem matches a wad cutter type bullet.
These are kind of soft(12 bh) and no powder coating.
I am getting. A little flat spot right on the nose. I had loaded round nose PC at a out 14 bh, one time with this die and got very minor marking. But did not seam to hurt anything
I am using a 4 die set and giving plenty of flare. So no crimping during seating.
Still having an issue.
Should I not worry about it as long as it is consistent? Or should I try to make another stem? I do not want to mess with this one as it loads all other bullets I use without issue.
Or is there a trick or some kind to temporarily modified the seating die? Like make a short extension, adapter
out of wood or something?
