Forster seating dies

[300BLK]

I finally tried seating 90gr ELD-X with the Forster die. With no powder compression, I got a distinct compression mark on the ogive of the bullet. I pulled the die apart and did a minor chamfer to the thin seater plug, and the mark is now just a barely noticeable line. A VLD chamfering tool might resolve the issue completely.

The ogive on the 90gr ELD-X is noticably different than that of the 105gr BTHP.
