reloading bullets
« on: February 19, 2009, 02:46:18 pm »
ran into a problem today,   i load for 45 auto,  use 185 gr star hollow point,  been loading for a week or so, anyway,   i noticed that the top of the bullet is deformed from the seating die,  don't know if i broke something or what,  took the die apart and looked at the depth seater,  1st the die is to hold the shape, the inner part seats the bullet to depth u want,  this could b the problem,  all it is  is flat,  should it have a form that fits around the head of the bullet?,   if thats my problem where can i get 1?,  thanks

Your bottom illustration here looks as if it's illustrating my comments in the 2nd thread in which I commented regarding the nose punch becoming in effect a "shoulder punch".
