That is intresting, I am also using Redding Competition dies and have no issues what so ever. is your sizing die also Redding.???

I don't have the competition series dies, these are the Titanium Carbide ones,  but yes the sizing and seating dies are redding.  It could be that I have not found the right balance between belling enough to seat the bullet without scraping and belling so much the case scrapes the seating die.

My bell is just enough so that the bullet sits on the case without it tipping over, I load 200gr blues as well...

Received the Dillon dies and installed them this evening.  5 minutes to dial them in and no more scraping the bullets during seating.  Going to chrono the test rounds tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

 

ETA chrono data

The rounds were very consistent, albeit a tad low.  Need to bump up the charge a lil bit and maybe increase OAL as 1 or 2 rounds (out of 40) didn't feed well.
