I have a very old set of RCBS dies for 30-30, and the 1/4"-28 bullet seating plug was designed for seating the classic tangent ogive, flat and round nose bullet historically used in the 30-30 with a tubular magazine. I've been working to develop a load using the Hornady FTX bullet which has a secant ogive, and the old bullet seating plug does not work well. I have scoured the Internet and have yet to find any leads on secant ogive bullet seating plugs for my old RCBS dies.
Does anyone out there know of a source for secant ogive bullet seating plugs for old RCBS Group A dies? Does anyone know of ways to make one? I have a lathe and can do machining, but would just need a reamer to match the secant ogive.
