[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 956355, member: 5219"] I think what you are seeing is just some scuff marks from feeding. Sharpies wear off too easily. Polish the bullet with fine steel wool then inspect bullet's jacket with some magnification for rifling marks. They will be evenly spaced small square or rectangular indentations.You will get better results if you drop the round into the chamber with rifle held muzzle down instead of feeding it. Start by seating the bullet way out there and make some big rifling marks so you can easily identify rifling marks. Once you know what they look like you can proceed to tweak seating depth. Polish the jacket every time you make an adjustment and you will get this figured out easily. [/QUOTE]
