[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1954094, member: 109862"] That’s just plain odd right there! If this were on an accubond long range it’d be less odd but still unusual. The original accubonds aren’t so long or pointy as to be out of the ordinary for what die makers build around. I had some issues deforming the tips on hornady 225 eld m bullets in my .300 win mag, it was a compressed load, and hornady does recommend buying special seating stems for these which I did not use (honesty time - cheapest lee dies money can buy, no mods, resulted in a repeatable one ragged hole group load). This was largely alleviated by seating them very slowly, and in intervals - seat 1/3 of total seating depth, remove, rotate cartridge a bit, seat another 1/3 further, rotate a bit again, finish seating, again, super slow. The rotating thing helps with concentricity (or maybe it doesn’t but I’m happy with the result of my whole process and am leaving it alone) [/QUOTE]
