Hi all,
Recently entered the world of reloading with a Lee Hand Press to "learn the ropes" - so far, I'm exclusively loading .38 special, with plans to soon move to .357 magnum. My first load was 3.4 gr of Bullseye with a Hornady 158 gr LSWCHP in Remington brass. The OAL is slightly under 1.5".
Shot through my first 50 today - Running them through my 4" S&W 686+ was a pleasure. All performed beautifully and delivered excellent groups.
However, after cleaning, resizing and priming all the brass, I noticed this marking on many of the cases. Rubbing my fingernail over it, I don't feel any inconsistency, and it doesn't show from the inside of the case. All of the cases have only been reloaded once. Anyone know what this is, and if it poses an issue with reloading the brass again?
Thanks much,
Leif
