Re: Loaded first round today, Question
Polish your seating stem. Take the die apart and use a little bit of polishing compound on a dremel (fastest way) or you can chuck up a Q-tip in a hand drill.
You don't want to remove material, just smooth out the seating cup.
A slight ring is normal. It will be more pronounced if you have high neck tension or are seating into a compressed load. You can try dipping the necks in graphite prior to bullet seating, it can reduce seating pressure a little.
See if that helps some.

Re: Loaded first round today, Question
Is your seater die screwed down deep enough to crimp? It could be making the marks from being too deep. You might try backing it up a little and see if they dissapear. No need for the crimp anyway.

Re: Loaded first round today, Question
See if the seater is especially sharp or has a pronounced burr on the leading edge. Polishing it should solve the problem. Also, what caliber and which bullet are you reloading?

I would get a copy of the latest Lyman manual at least. There are many others that make for good reading and learning. The Lee manual is also good.
Please be careful.
