I'm currently loading for a .54 sharps carbine percussion using brass cases, a pedersoli bullet with the heeled base which presses into the case. Problem comes when I go to seat the bullet. It takes some force to seat the heel and I've been using a deburring tool to put a slight bevel inside of the brass case to make seating a bit easier. In case anyone cares, I'm machining my own brass cases and use a piece of scotch tape over the flash hole to prevent BP from trickling out. A simple prick with my trustypocket knife when the round is seated and we're ready to go.
Which leads me to my question, is there a seater die for this caliber or am I on my own in terms of making my own die?
