    Here's what Lee says about theirs -

    "The Bullet Seating Plug that comes with the die set is as close to generic as we can make it. If you find that the Bullet Seating Plug deforms the nose of the bullet, or will not seat it to the proper depth, we can make a Custom Bullet Seating Plug to fit your bullet. For this we would need a sample bullet and payment of $8.00 plus any applicable taxes and Shipping/Handling.

    Please note, for a Custom Bullet Seating Plug for the 50 BMG, cost is $30.00 plus any applicable taxes and Shipping/Handling.

    Many times, you can make this fix yourself through the use of a drill press. Secure the seating plug under a 3/32" bit and drill further into it. The distance should never be increased more than 1/4". If this does not solve the issue, we recommend sending it to us."
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    How would that improve anything?

    No idea. Just what Lee says. I've always put up with the ring mark on the projectile nose. It was a topical topic way back when I first started reloading in 2005. Guess nothing changes. Never made any diff to my shooting. Maybe I'm just not a good enough shot to notice.
