Was reloading last night so as to sight in a new scope.
Using Hornady Interlocks, they were cheap.
Pulled casing from press to place in my container, and noticed something was off.
Namely the bullet.
Was stuck in the seating die.
Checked die, cleaned with some mild steel wool, and used a touch of spray silicone to lube a bit.
Next bullet stuck also.
Checked bullet diameter, (just to make sure). Was right on the money.
Pulled a Speer bullet from stock. Went right in, no problems.
Tried a Nosler BT. Again no problems.
Tried the Interlock again. Stuck...

Anyone else run into this?

I've loaded hundreds of the Interlocks and never had this happen. What die are you using? Are the bullet profiles similar?

You will have to change seating stems to a stem that will only touch the circum ferenceof the tip not the tip alone...what brand are the dies?

why these particular bullets?

That's a good Q. I use Lee dies also. I don't know if this will fix it, but I would take some 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper, wrap it around one of the bullets and polish the inside of the seating stem.
