[QUOTE="tdot, post: 1763500, member: 91330"] I have 2 week old Forster die and it is doing the same thing. I cleaned and polished the seating stem, same as I always do, before use. Most annoying part is that when I have the base of the bullet touch the powder, even though it's not a compressed load (powder is Varget and there is room in the shoulder of the case to displace the powder into) it jambs the bullet into the stem and I have to disassemble it. Happens with both Hammer (new longer nose) and Berger. I generally have .002" neck tension, but tried more and it made the situation worse as it drove the bullet into the seating stem harder. I'm still working on a solution, but lube on the bullet nose helped slightly, to get some immediate load testing done. Will move into removing metal, etc in the neat future when time permits.
