Is something wrong?

DavidM.......................If they chamber easily and shoot and extract well, you may want to simply ignore this "problem".......FWB

They chamber easily but I haven't yet fired them to see if there is a change in impact or not. I still had some unfired brass left so I loaded them up first
 
Redding makes .458 Lott dies. Midway has them in stock.

Redding are my favority dies. But if you have only one rifle in this caliber, and hence don't need to extensively resize, simply back the resizing die off a little, tumble and clean brass, see if the unfired chamber easily, and proceed to load a moderate loading. Black powder cartridge shooters are familiar with loaded rounds that look like your initial example. Unless the situation is extreme, they often shoot just fine.......................FWB
 
Does this issue come up with the bottle neck hornady dies??

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
