Exactly. Generally too much neck tension or compression loads causes this.
Good suggestion and a sensible place to start.
My 6.5CM loads aren't compressed and have 2 thou neck tension. The standard type seater was still deforming the tip of the 147. They seem to be a softer bullet.
42gr H4350 in Peterson brass. I did not resize them as the fit looked right and those are new brass.
They will be correctly prepped when once fired, I loaded 100 90gr and 50 147gr.
they might be compressed a bit but not much. I tried seating some in step and it only the last 1/8in do this. I could try to pull a bullet and try seating one without powder.

Here’s some bullet deformation, will the VLD stem correct this?
Get a vld seating stem Andy that will disappear.
Very similar. The ring may have been slightly higher from my seater (different brand/design), but very much like yours.
