[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 399849, member: 5418"] Michael, The seater plug will (or at least should!) contact the bullet somewhere near the ogive and not on the tip. It's not as low down on the bullet as the "bore dia". Some of the VLD type designs will sometimes bottom out against the bottom of the plug hole and then the plug should be modified (the hole enlarged or drilled deeper). As far as my experience goes with the brands of dies I've seen, they all work this way. Boomtube, Nice description. I've also tried numerous home brew techniques. I use a Stoney Point (Hornady) now, but all have their problems. That was a great discussion of how to do it practically and maintain your sanity... [/QUOTE]
