I can't get these to consistently seat straight

I cast and lube sized a bunch of these a couple months ago.

I finally got to loading them in 22 hornet in the last few days, in the short hours of daylight after work. I have two Lee seater dies. One from the standard pacesetter die set, and the dead length seater that comes with the neck sizer die. The dead length die has a different looking seater stem, which was promising when I had issues with the standard seater die. But I had the same dismal results of crooked (poor runout) looking seated boolits. Now before you make the quick and short reply that Lee seater dies suck, I do know that and have already bought/ordered a vintage/used Bonanza BR die set from fleabay...But why I am posting this here in results subforum, is I'm wondering if anyone has this issue with this particular NEW design? Meaning, is this extra wide meplat an issue ?
FYI, I have loaded plenty of 22 hornet ammo with these Lee dies using jwords as well as boolits (Bator,HM˛, and the NOE copy of RCBS 22-055) and they all seat concentric (gauged by my eye while rolling the loaded ammo on a flat surface). When I seat these WFN boolits, I can see the issue, even before rolling them...and I guarantee, anyone else, even an untrained eye looking at one of these while I roll it on a flat surface can see the crookedness.
OK, so if you read all that, I will ask again, in case you lost track...
Has anyone else had an issue seating this particular boolit ?
thanks,
Jon
PS, I plan to take the 30 or so loaded rounds to the range today, if for no other reason, to remove the boolits from the loaded rounds, and hopefully correct any issues in the brass/neck (via fireforming to the chamber) that may have been caused by pushing a boolit non-concentrically into the 22 hornets fragile case...cuz I can see a slight bulge on one side of most of them
