Using my mini lathe I made a nose punch to align and shorten the nose of bullet during bumping. Taper is a strait 40 degrees included angle. This should help prevent nose from slumping when using softer alloys or hard alloys at faster velocity.
Ordered a .224 diameter chucking reamer to cut bump die body so that most all style bullets can be bumped for better alignment. Throat of rifle is cut strait @.2243 diameter for LBT style bullets.
Diameter of aluminum stem is .223, diameter of steel die body will be .2240
