Seating stem fits too good

[60723]

Got bored and decided to make seating stem fit my bullets better. Used grinding compound and a drill on the bullet. Now they fit too good. Now the cases won’t freely release from my Wilson seating die! Oh well.

Maybe you can find a coil spring with just the right ID size to slip over the upper section and cut it to just the right length to have it lift the top enough to release after seating.

Bed the stem then drill out the tip so the tip doesn't contact it, ive done it on 3 Wilson dies they release just fine and seating is very consistent. I.E 223 for my 20 Prac.
I make sure the round has no run out that I use to bed.

I'm thinking a Belleville washer may be a better choice for that. But a good idea nonetheless.
