Steep angled reamer

Looking for a boat tailed 45 grain projectile for 223 or alternatively tips on loading flat based projectiles. Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

I ream the mouth of every case. I "forget" the angle of the steep reamer, 15-20 degrees. Steeper than the standard? 30-35%. That helps with the flat base bullets. Not much helps those little bullets from going side ways better than the competition dies, with the "drop in window". Makes it real easy. I just loaded 500 35 grainers, with a standard set and my big,fat fingers. What a PITA. Have the 308 comp die. 223 comp die, on the way.
