95% of the time, any seater stem seems to work OK on multiple bullet nose types.
It's that other 5% that some folks just don't notice.

Depending on the diameter of the bullet and the diameter of the case mouth, bullets can be hard to seat. When that happens, deformed bullet tips can occur.
Sometiimes even a bell mouth can still get shaving from diameter mismatch as well. It happens.

When I am doing setup with new components, I always try to just barely start to seat; and then stop and check for alignment. The driving bands should be concentric with the case mouth. If they're not, you may have a stem mismatch issue. Shaving may start to occur as well.


stay safe,
and good loading,
