Well, the JB Weld and the drill press worked. It made a great mold of the Woodleigh profile and now the roundnose has complete surface contact. No rocking in the plug! It took a little twist to break the bullet free and I put the plug in the freezer for good measure before I attempted to break it apart.

My 6.5x54 M-S seating plug is next. It is fine for SP bullets but is horrible for the Hornady 160gr round nose. Hardly any of the nose enters the plug and concentricity goes to hell fast.

Redding is sending me another plug a few thousands larger and I will see how that plug works as is or I will give it the JB Weld mold treatment.


Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.
