Anybody know what seatinf plug to use for the 310gr. LEE 44 bullet?
I am using Lyman carbide 3 die set and the seater plugs that I have deform the meplat a lot.
Ideas----HELP!!!!!!

I use my RCBS 3 die carbide set and it leaves a slight ring just below the nose, but it's not greatly deformed, nor does it detract from the accuracy.

Use some hot melt glue to customize the top punch you have.

Just tried the hot melt and I can seat without damage only to find the rounds won't chamber in my Dan Wesson 744VH.
Sized to .430. Crimped @ OAL of 1.610
Any ideas?
Maybe taper crimp??

Too much crimp? Where are the loaded rounds hanging up? At the crimp?

It seems I had too much of a flare at the mouth
