What seating die for Magnus 200 gr SWC .45?

[Thrash1982]

I bought 1000 200 grain SWC .45 ACP bullets from Magnus Bullets a while back and recently tried loading with them. What I found when attempting to adjust the seating die on my Dillon 650 (with Dillon dies) was very inconsistent seating depths from round to round. After cleaning the seating and crimping dies I was still getting very inconsistent overall lengths. Finally I determined that the magnus SWC profile has a wider cone and that the Dillon seating die was hitting the bullet on the side of the cone instead of at the tip when using the SWC end of the seating plug. Is there a seating die from another manufacturer that would work better with these? Everything works fine with the Missouri bullets I usually use.

Flip the seating stem over and try the other RN end.

If that don't work call Dillon and I am quite confident they will fix you up with a custom stem that fits your bullets properly.

That seems to have worked. Thanks for the suggestion.
