Hornady lock and load progressive problems

[swiftackley]

Okay guys I need some help. This press keeps shaving the tips of my soft points. I set it up for 223's and I can't for the life of me get it to stop eating the one side of the tip. On the up stroke I feel the bullet catch on the edge of the seater cup and as I follow through I feel it give and then seat the bullet. When it comes down I have a seated soft point with one side of the tip shaved off. I've tried 3 different seater cups and 2 different seating dies. Has anyone had this problem?

give Hornady a call. There is either something wrong with your seat die or it is an issue with press calibration.

I had the same issue with same bullets, 55 grain Hornady SP,
using a Dillon 650 with an RCBS seater die. I took my chamfering tool and opened up the seating stem and problem solved.
Take your seater plug out and make sure it doesn't have gunk built up as well.

Okay I'll try the chamfering tool before I call the boys in red. Thanks
