If anyone has experience seating Swift A-Frame Handgun bullets, I'm looking for some specific information.

Spinning-off from this thread: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/44-mag-seating-die-crushing-hp-nose.887878/

If you've successfully loaded A-Frames in .44 Mag or similar without crushing the mouth of the hollow point inwards, please tell me what brand of die you used for seating. The Lee seating die isn't working for me, so I need another brand that will do the job.

If you want to talk about other potential issue other than the die itself, I'm happy to do that on the other thread. Thanks!
 
You may need to modify the seating stem, wrap some sand paper around the bullet and spin it in a drill. Some guys have bedded the seating stems with jb weld to help deforming the bullets.

Most A frames I've used were 458s in 45-70 and most sammi chambers don't have the throat to seat them at the sammi c.o.l. Don't know if you would have that problem but I'd check.
