I want to work up a load at the range but when I try to seat x-bullets with my lee loader I end up pounding on the tip because the x's are so pointy and the seater just isn't designed for that. I am concerned it may affect accuracy as well as their ability to open properly. Anyone have this issue? I guess a hand press is an option... other suggestions?

thanks - I'll maybe give it a wee bit of a drill out so the impact zone is a bit closer to the ogive with the seater.
It's a 7mag - and I do have to pound fairly hard because I sometimes full length resize my brass first due to tight headspace so the neck tension is a lot tighter than from just neck sizing.
