So the Dillon seating die plug for .44 caliber which is double ended would not work for a full wad cutter bullet as you would only have a very thin edge
in contact with bullet head. This would let the bullet cock around when seating so I machined up a full face one to use for these style bullets.
Sometime you have to make stuff!
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.
