Bullet Seating Plugs

The bullet seater plug that comes with the die set is as close to generic as we can make it. If you find that the bullet seater plug deforms the nose of the bullet you are trying to seat, we can make a custom bullet seater plug to fit your bullet.  For this we would need a sample bullet and payment of $12 (this includes shipping). 

Many times, you can make this fix yourself by enlarging the pilot hole diameter.  If you look closely at the bullet seating plug, you will see that there are two drills used to create the cavity for the bullet tip.  One makes the cone-shaped part of the hole, and the bullet should contact the seating plug somewhere on this cone-shaped surface.  There is a smaller hole in the center called the pilot hole, and if you are using soft point bullets, or bullet with plastic tips the pilot hole has to be larger in diameter than the tip.  That way the seating plug will contact the bullet on the jacket, which is less susceptible to damage than the soft tip.
