Seating Berger Hybrids with a hornady custom die seater stem problem 260rem

Seating Berger Hybrids with a hornady custom die seater stem problem 260rem Has anyone had trouble with the seater stem not fitting the new Berger hybrids? I have noticed mt tip is slightly smashed so I took the die apart. And the tip of the bullet the end hits before the sides because Its so long and skinny. I ordered a new dimensions 6.5 Amax style seater stem. I'm hoping this fixes the problem. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm sold on the Berger hybrids and don't want to change bullets. It might be the same stem I already have. I almost considered ordering a 243 seater stem

Just drill the stem a little deeper.

The Amax stem should solve your problem. My Hornady Match Grade New Dimension 6.5 creedmoor dies came with the regular seater stem and the Amax seater stem. The Amax stem has a noticeably longer bullet cavity and seats my 140gr Berger VLD's without touching the tip of the bullet. You can see a VERY faint ring where the seater stem presses on the bullet about halfway between the tip and the ogive.
