[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 236286, member: 8037"] Zoeper, You're fighting two problems. The first is fitting the seating plug to the pointed Berger's tip. You can open it up some with a drill press, milling machine or lathe, and then polish the machined area to better fit the bullet's shape. Other brands of dies will provide you with alternate plug shapes; I don't know about Lee. A gunsmith will help you if you aren't able to modify or replace your die's plug. The second problem is your press. While many adhere to the idea of compliance in the case/shellholder being advantageous, when the press's ram is furnishing the compliance it is working against you. The ram's force is working to misalign the ram with the workpiece rather than the workpiece aligning itself with a ram whose force is stable. The press needs to have a new ram installed or be replaced itself. It is a factory defect and should be warranted. Your location I would expect is disadvantageous to your getting satisfactory factory service (I seem to recall your being in South America), but an e-mail to Lee will confirm what they are able to do for you. .
