[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2604818, member: 94556"] The reason for this problem is the clearance between the tip and the seating stem. I use Forster seating dies and have never run into this problem because the Forster stem is a single tube precisely ground and chamfered to touch the bullet below the tip on the copper portion of the bullet. RCBS AND Redding have an ogival shape in the seating stem, and if that shape does not fit the ogive of the bullet the tip is touched. A VLD stem for those dies can be obtained, or have your gun smith drill out the seating stem with a drill that is a few thousands wider than the tip diameter [/QUOTE]
