    Dented projectiles

    Help, please !

    Newly seated bullets have a visible dent right around, I suppose from the seating stem.
    They shot about 2" at 100m so just acceptable at that range.
    A clu might be that just before this we had case shoulders being crushed while seating the bullets. This seemed to be due to an incorrect setting of a crimping bushing and my mate fixed it with help of you tub and the manufacturer's video.

    Just ask any other questions that might help find a cause or solution.
