What the knurled ring or dotted band is for and actually called on like a .38 special or .357 mag casing? It kind of looks like a dashed line/ring/band around the case, say about a half inch from the case mouth (.357 mag). I've seen it on other brass too, even autos like .45 acp.
I originally thought it was something to control the bullet seating depth, but cannot find any reference to it anywhere. I've been searching the net, including here, for 2 days off and on.
I can't find a picture right now off hand, but I'm sure with the caliber (heehee) of people here, they can answer it.
Anyways, thanks in advance. I'm not too awful new here; I just don't post much at all. Also, I've only been reloading a few years, so I am still new compared to most on here. I am a little embarrassed to be asking what I assume is very simple question as I usually can search my way to most any information...this has whooped me though.
