Hi which bullet seater will seat bullet heads by the oglive and not the bullet tip. Thanks for any help.

We mostly use Forster ultra micrometer bullet seaters which always pick up off the ogive regardless of profile, I also blend the contact area the bullet pusher on some dies for specific forms of bullet such as .303 cast boolits.

Redding and Wilson seem fine as well on the bullets I have used.

I got a set of Redding precision dies recently from Sinclair's and they worked out much cheaper than the UK price.
Can not recommend them enough, will be selling my LEE set as soon as I have time to list them on Flea bay

I reckon that Forster make the best screw-in dies - as Ovenpaa says the Forster Ultra Benchrest seater dies load very straight rounds.
