[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2644948, member: 7999"] The copper we use is very soft and leaving a witness mark is not unusual. Yours looks excessive, like you are applying a lot of force to seat your bullets. Make sure you have a nice chamfer on the inside of the case mouth to ease the entry into the case. The other things mentioned are all good advice. Before I could control my OCD I actually bedded a seater plug with JB Weld so that it perfectly matched the bullet I was seating. Worked very well, but will only match that bullet exactly. I have now learned to live with a little mark. Yours looks like it is actually distorting the ogive of the bullet, so we need to figure out why. [/QUOTE]
