I have Redding dies for my 8X57
The seater plug is making a cut ring around the bullet.
Does anyone make a plug for cast bullets that will fit my Redding die ?

I have experienced this too and resolved it by removing said plug and polishing the inner edge with a dremel tool.

I remember reading on here about some people fixing the issue by filling the nose of the seater with hot glue and fitting their boolit into it.
I normally just don't worry about the issue on the few I load that do it.

you could try mashing a wad of aluminum foil in there too.
just enough to make a flat spot for the boolits nose to square up on.
a little ring doesn't really hurt anything, as long as you aren't reshaping the nose.
