After seating with both the main difference I saw was that the old seater stem would leave a very slight ring on the bullet,especially with higher neck tension.
Other than that ,they both worked.
Measuring to the ogive shows variance as well. And the tips aren’t contacting. I’ve thrown in a 7mm stem to see if that might help.
