Something that you might try is buying an extra seating stem and "bedding" it. I shoot BPCR competition and have to seat 40 and 45 cal lead bullets and want the tips to be perfect. What we do is to wax a bullet and the die and then seat a bullet into the sizing stem full of Acra-glass or other similar epoxy. When thoroughly dry take the die back apart, clean up the excess and you have a perfectly shaped seater for the bullet you are using........DJ

I'll try RCBS in the morning and if they don't have the "special" seater for Nosler Partitions I will make the exact fit with the Acra-Glas bedding. It never fails to amaze me of all the information one can obtain just by asking questions on this web site. Thanks again guys. Good shooting! Mike

FourTails,

Not exactly an answer to your question, but maybe some insight for you in regard to cutting lead off your bullets. Some years back I had a Sako .375 H&H. The rifle had a short magazine and wouldn't take the Barnes original 300 gr. spitzers I wanted to load. I did just what you did and cut the tips off in order to feed them properly. Did some comparison shooting between the cut and uncut bullets, and found no difference at all. As a bonus for my effort, the bullet tips(now flat) no longer deformed in the mag from recoil. The glassing idea for your seater punch sounds like a good idea. Best of luck with it!!!
