Back to your original question. For best results, the seating stem should exactly match the shape of your bullet. This is particularly important for a swagged bullet like the Star hollow point that is very very soft because its basically pure lead. Finding an original Star seating stem to match a Star (no relation) hollow point is probably next to impossible. I would check with CH Tool and Die http://www.ch4d.com/ and see if they can make one for you. You might be able to send one of your bullets to them so they can craft a seating stem to fit.
I use hard cast bullets for Bullseye. I have several semi-wadcutter seating stems, but I generally use a round nose seating stem to seat my semi-wadcutters because it seems to do a nice job of centering the bullet, and doesn't deform the bullet.
