So, I got my scale set and measured out 10 charges getting the same 12 grains through out of 2400. Next I went to seat and crimp them. I noticed that the seating die is leaving it's mark on the bullets. these are two of the 10 plus one of the bullets for comparison. The loaded cartridge is of the correct COAL and fits the magazine and chambers and extracts without problem from my carbine.
Is this just something that just looks funky or is there a problem? I don't remember seeing this with any of the other lead bullets I've used, but they've all been SWCs with a flat meplat.
ETA: Here's my image I forgot to link ...
Problem? Or not?
