I recently bought a Lee 22 Bator mold planning on using it for one of my AR-15 carbines. After many attempts at polishing the feed ramps on my rifle to chucking the boolits in my lathe and attempting to round the nose, nothing has worked- my rifle will not feed with this style bullet. My question is, has anyone ever attempted to change the shape of the tip on a Lee mold? I have a mill and small lathe so tooling would not be an issue but I would like to shape the front of this boolit somewhat like a spitzer or at least something that will feed reliably in my carbine. I would appreciate any ideas or if you know of some info already posted on the net, I have searched and came up with nothing.
Thanks,
Tim
