On the bench to load some .300 B/O subsonics using Hornady FL 2 Die Set and Nosler 210gr Accubond LR High BC projo's as shown in the pic on the far left. Upon seating the die leaves a deformation ring on the projo...second from left. Call Hornady and was told that the dies are set up for Hornady projo's and I may have to smoothen out the seating head in the die. So I do that, see next from left. Deformation only gets worse. The customer service guy from Hornady was nice enough to send me a free seating head for the die at the time of our conversation so I went at it again with the dremel. Far right in pic...time to stop the nonsense.
Kind of hard to believe that you would have to buy the same manufacturers projo's to work in their dies properly. So I guess if you use RCBS dies you're screwed.
Anyone else with this issue or have a cure for this problem?
