I've always loaded solid bullets and had no issues but I just started reloading some 155gr Hornady XTP bullets in .40 S&W and the seating/crimping die is deforming the edges of the hollow point. Anybody offer a solution to this? Maybe expand the case mouth a little more prior to seating? I'm using a Rock Chucker Supreme press and RCBS carbide dies.
 
Some dies come with a second seating plug for different profile bullets. One is usually rounded, and the flatter. Sounds like you have the more rounded plug in, which tends to deform the edges of flatter nosed bullets.

Since you posted this in the Reloading forum I'll close this one as a duplicate.
