[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2587356, member: 14204"] Don't be too quick to blame the bullet. You might (?) need a seating stem that is made for loading secant ogive or other long bullet designs. [USER=94556]@nralifer[/USER] [USER=87243]@codyadams[/USER] ADDED: These are .26 cal bullets for comparison only. [ATTACH alt=".26 cals 130 Scirocco II 135 BD2 140 Berger VLD.jpg"]383268[/ATTACH] L-R 130 Scirocco II 135 BD2 140 Berger VLD As you can see, the BD2 is very long, and a conventional seating stem might not work (bottom out). I just tried the 135 BD2, and it bottoms out in my .264 WM Hornady seating stem. So, I would need a seating stem to accommodate the longer and sleeker bullet. My guess is the BD2 also bottomed out in your RCBS seating stem, and the bullet tip came off when you forced it during the seating process. [/QUOTE]
