SEATER PLUG FOR TRUNCATED FLAT POINT

Howdy All,

Just started reloading so I’m still trying to figure things out, I’m using RCBS carbide dies and was wondering which seater plugs do you all use for truncated bullets?

Truncated Cone bullets will seat fine with a perfectly flat seater plug.   That you can make from an extra stem - just file or grind off flat.   Most seater dies have a "flat nose" bullet stem as an option.   If you use a Dillon die set, turn the stem insert around to the flat nosed end.

 

At the worst, call the factory where dies were made and ask for a stem suited to TC bullets.  Probably no charge from most of the die companies.

 

Good luck, GJ

I use the seating stem for a SWC, has the same flat needed for a TC bullet.

Ranger ... Make a perfect seater plug.  Fill the cavity with hot glue - twist the bullet nose in the glue - let the glue cool and trim the excess off the  edge of the die = Done. I hate buggered bullet noses and do many hot glue seater dies
