I think my troubles mat be solved.

Thanks for all of the advise.


Ask your die maker to taper the die entrance. Even a .010" reduction in size shouldn't be a problem on a properly tapered and polished die, especially with pure lead.

You need a taper, to reduce sizing effort, which in turn reduces deformation of the bullet nose during the sizing operation.
