I have loaded hundreds of .308, just not ballistic tip. What could be causing the crushing of the tip? Is it the dies? Are there special dies for the plastic ballistic tips or is it an adjustment problem? By the looks of the dies, they will never work with these bullets. Nosler 165 gr. ballistic tip Varmint. One pic is just a fresh bullet, the other is a completed round, notice the crushed tip. I guess getting to my real question, are these few rounds completed safe to shoot? What can I expect on accuracy? They are in spec, OAL is 2.75
