Lots of trial and error, but these 150 lead cast epoxy coated bullets are cycling well! Not the prettiest in the world, because I was only testing these , and did very well .
Thanks for some of the tips you guys had given me .

Looks like the wrong profile nose punch for the sizer. I had the same problem with a nose punch for my 257100 mold. It would make my spitzers into a flat-nose profile.

How would I get the right size nose punch for this resizer.
Thanks

Which mold is it? Lyman, Lee, NOE, ???
The other choice is to make a custom fitted nose punch with epoxy.

Its the Lee 309-150 Artful. I got home and ran some more through the sizer, and this did not happen again ? I wished I had those bullets, but I do not because I shot them, lol, so I don't know what the hell? Just for the future Artful, the Lee c-312-155 needs another top punch , because i plan on getting that mold , if so what size? I have the 309-13 top punch in there now .Is it this one?

If you're looking for top punches, get ahold of theperfessor on here. Besides better quality, they are lots cheaper than the retail stores and Keith is a very good guy, a vendor sponsor on here, and you'd be helping to support a member on here.
Very good. I don't think they realize I'm using lee push through resizer dies.

Ah, so it is your seater die, seating and crimping at the same time? You should crimp separately, that should fix the deformation.
No sir, I'm not seating and crimping at the same time .

Are you pushing them by the nose or the base?

By the base Artful.

Well then the only time the nose is touched is with the seating die - are you flaring your case mouths before you are seating the boolit?

Artful, I just figured this out . This is only happening when I chamber the bullet in the gun? It does not do this with standard fmj bullets ? I see a slight ring where the chamber meets the rifling in the barrel. This is what's happening . Anyone ever seen this happen before because its happening here , lol

Ya got me there - I've seen marks on boolits from leade before and it looks nothing like your picture
