Hey guys, i’m trying to load some .223 Rem loads with Sierra 55g Blitzking and 77g TMKs. I’m using Hornady dies... looks like the seating stem that comes with them isn’t “deep” enough to clear the polymer tips. Hornady’s ELD seating stems have worked great on other caliber dies, even with Nosler RDF and Berger VLD bullets, but I can’t seem to find an ELD type seating stem that drops in to a .223 die. Anyone have similar issues/solutions?
