Looking for an alternative seater plug for 270 win rcbs die. I'm using ideal 280 468L and the seater is deforming the nose. They still shoot just fine, but I'd like to remedy this. Was thinking of trying a 25 ACP plug for round nose but nothing available locally.
Does any die manufacturer make seating dies / seaters for cast?
Thanks in advance.

I have a couple that did that . Among other suggestions I've seen over the yrs are to epoxy the seater to match the nose profile , use a flat nose seating post , that of course would make a new problem. The quick and dirty Band-Aid I use mostly lately is to run the chamfer tool in and add a bevel to the pointed seater post . I have a Lyman VLD style , it will cut the edge off an gone just a little more will exceed the radius dia of the nose and makes just a flat ring rather than a gouged groove .
