can any of you guys post a pic of some different point forming dies?? I have made a set that works pretty good for 45acp(216 grn Tc) I guess my problem is getting a good transition from the bullet o.d. to the start of the ogive.. Making any WC type nose punch is pretty easy to do but am having a bit of trouble on any other type nose.. Thanks in advance!

The nose punch type of dies can not have a smooth transition in my experience. The thin edge of the nose punch cracks. The 38 and 44 cal CH dies I own have the nose forming part inside the die and use flat punches on the base. Others may have other info, this has been my experience.
