    Maybe .3-.5 gn over but I'd inspect a few then fire them and re inspect. Could be from load development or near max and the odd one with .1-.2 more than others.
    As for the craters that is the same as my bergara although different caliber. They copied remington a little to well including some of their faults. Be careful setting your dies up for full length sizing as your verniers and head space gauge will be measuring the raised crater not the base so you won't be getting a true or accurate measurement for bumping the shoulder back and/or over working your brass. De-prime a few first to set your dies correctly. As others have said doesn't look like impending doom but just do the usual checks. Nice group by the way
    takbok and rewa like this.
