Guys,

I have recently started reloading for my 460V and I have a question. With my 3 carbide die set from RCBS, I got 2 seater plugs. I put the plug in that is flat and wide and looks like it is for the flat nose performance cast lead bullets. Thing is, when I seat the bullet, I end up cutting into the top of the lead bullets and leave a mark where I mash out the edges a bit. The first attempt I realized I hadn't expanded the brass far enough, but when I went for another round I expanded it further and the bullet went in fairly easily but left a mash out mark on the top of the bullet. Does anybody have a remedy for this?
