sounds like a call to RCBS is in order, could be that they cut it to large.

Yeap, I understand that and I don't mind buying a dedicated die for each bullet design. I have dies for single lube groove bullets, and dies for multi lube groove bullets. Besides, I get to support...

I have eliminated the need to plug holes on my star dies by ordering custom dies from lathesmaith. I get them with holes in the proper location for the particular bullet I’m sizing.
