I put a set of RCBS .45 ACP carbide dies on a Dillon 550B. Running Berry's .45 plated round nose bullets in the bullet seating stage, bullets are occasionally sliced/gouged just below the nose by the round nose bullet seater.
I could probably bell the case more or sand the inside edges of the bullet seater plug, but there has to be something else. I can't be the first one to experience this. I never had such a problem with my inexpensive Lee dies, but bullets started to stick in the Lee seater die and cleaning and sanding didn't help, so I switched.
Do you have any suggestions? I even thought about putting Dillon .45 dies in the Dillon press, but they were out of stock when I purchased the RCBS replacements, so RCBS is what I'm working with right now.
