Ballistic Tips Crushed
 

Having a problem with 7MM ballistic tips. The tip get's slightly crushed when reloading...never had this problem with other calibers. The seating die is using the "end" of the ballistic tip to seat to proper depth "instead" of using the front shoulder of the bullet...
Anyone have this problem? Thought of drilling the seating die out a little so it sits on the shoulder any input?
Funny thing is I have3/4 inch groups at 100 even with the tips damaged.

Take your die out and check it for dried or crusted up lube or other junk. I had this problem from loading cast bullets at one time.

Every once in a while, I have to modifiy my dies just a tad. I know I proably voided the warranty, but to get my shoulders to just tough my headspace, I have took a mil or two off the ends.
