Thread: 22 Hornet Curved Die Plug

I'm reloading 22 Hornet using a REDDING DELUXE DIE SET which is virtually brand new.
The die plus has a sharp shoulder, which puts a ring indentation on the olgile (ABC?) of the Winchester 40grn HP CANN FB projectiles. I have 200 of these to load and don't want to dent them! These projectiles are the last, of the last, of the old Winchester 22 Magnum half jacket projectiles which Rick W used to buy by the bucket full, and sell by the weighted scoop (not count). I tried to buy a bell shaped, or trumpet shaped REDDING plug, but when it arrived it had the hard shoulder exactly like the first one!

So here is the request, could I please borrow a REDDING plus, or another Brand of seating die, which has a bell, or trumpet shaped plug that won't dent the projectiles. Maybe this is a pistol plug? I don't know???

These projectiles are the only ones which the die dents!!!???? All the rest are fine??

The last weird thing about these projectiles is they vary in length!? I've batched them into three lengths:
- 0.452
- 0.455
- 0.457 - 0.460
So what the process here? Or do in load the longest ones to a specified length, then dial the plug down as the projectiles get shorter. This, I think, will put the base at at the same spacing above the powder, which (in my mind) will keep pressure the same?[
