Not enough flare??

[ROB]

First pistol rounds loaded and noticed a semi-circle ring on the tip. Seater looks fine. Just wondering if I’m not putting enough flare on the case. Any thoughts?? Thanks.

Could be or it could be there's a ridge on the bullet seat stem.

The "cup" at the south end of the seater stem is hitting your bullet because the bullets are too pointy or you are using a seater stem designed for cast bullets.
All in all . . . Will not hurt the accuracy one bit. --- SAWMAN

Unscrew the seater stem and put it down over one of those loaded rds pictured.
Betcha it matches up perfectly. --- SAWMAN

You hit up my next question. Accuracy.
I’m going to take apart the die and look. Thank you.

Lightly round off the outside edge of the seater stem with some fine sandpaper. Emphases on lightly.

Inside edge,right ??
Some die sets come with a cast bullet seater stem. I have sets in 44mag,45LC,and 454Casull that come this way.
The seater plugs that I have smoothed the edge on,I have done with very fine sandpaper (aluminum oxide) ,wrapped around the end of a pencil eraser. --- SAWMAN
