Not a ring from the stem Elk. The scarring is on the bearing surface of the bullet starting just below the ogive(correct, only part way around) on a seated bullet and the scarring on the die is in the sleeve where the seating stem sits. Area blemished on the bullet looks to be the same sized area as the blemish in the sleeve. Perhaps that’s a better description? I wasn’t aware that Redding would replace components of a die set as Dean has suggested so I’ll probably end up going that route vs screwing around with polish.
