I cant see the photos anywhere? click the little picture of a tree next to the picture of film in the reply box.

It sounds like the body above the web needs resising and your die is not doing it enough for your chamber.

The marking could just be from die and chamber touching up the brass but not the base, best bet is section one and have a look if worried about imminent case head separation, any noticeable thinning at the web/body junction you may as well bin the brass IMHO.
otherwise a body die of smaller base dimensions may get you a few more firings.
