RCBS 90200 Hand Priming Tool

Take a file to it and stop when the 'nub' is flush. If the part has been hardened (doubtful, mine aren't), then abrasives would be in order instead of a file.
 
just looking for the easiest and best method so I won't take off more than I should.

that's easy when the nub goes away stop removing metal

BTW should not take long to get the new part. RCBS mailed me my new parts July 03 the same day I called and they made it from California to east coast USA to my mail box (east coast) yesterday.

BTW for others with the old 2 piece rods the new one piece rods are much smoother in operation
 
Not something found among reloaders very often; but, I have a butt grinder. It is part of a set up that is used to make pilots, head space gages etc.. IF the rod you have that is creating dimples belong to me I would chuck it up in the 'V' block and then apply a smooth finish. AND! I would make an effort not to shorten the rod.

I grind up 10 lbs of pork butt about every two months or so. Makes great taco meat when properly seasoned. :D

I got the new rods in last eve and tested it today. The one piece seating rod is much smoother and gave a nice uniform seating depth sensitive enough to feel the preload and not crush
 
I'm not sure what is right but take a file to that little teat and remove it .
Make the surface flat . My first Lee whack-a-mole Loader had a teat like that on the primer seating base ...about 3 out of 10 primers would fire when seated !
Made primer seating exciting to say the least. When I found it...Aha moment , light bulb on...filed that sucker flat and no more primer problems.

So I received the new pieces today... yup, RCBS sent me the small and large rod which I was only expecting the large rod. They both are flat, now I shouldn't have those dimples when I prime. Quick service. They also sent me the manual. Now I have an extra manual, large and small rod.
