i ran into something i wasn't expecting today, i was trying to seat hornady 75gr hpbt's on 25.3gr of powder and my dillon seating die was denting the bullet jacket where it was pushing it in. i was seating to mag length so i was probably compressing quite a bit. the dent appeared a good .2 before i achieved mag length.
i swapped the die out for a lee seating die and the problem went away....
i am assuming this is just one of those wierd situations between different manufacturers, but i just wasn't expecting it out of a dillon die. could i have screwed up the set up or something?
dillon 550 if that matters.
comments welcome.
