I did the loads pictured below earlier and came across this issue, which I have never encountered. I am using Redding dies, and these were done with the neck sizer on brand new Winchester brass. The bullets, after seating, have the crease indicated with the arrows, and as you can see, is showing up on each one of them. I have never used Redding dies before, and have not loaded this particular caliber before. The bullets are not over-sized, and are measured 0.308" at the widest point on the ogive. When seated, according to my Barnes handloading manual, the brass is of proper dimensions within the neck.
Also, the coated bullets do not budge, but some of the copper ones will rotate within the neck, but do not pull out/fall in.
I'm not quite sure what to think, and I would appreciate any help.
