Further, it is the only way they have created that dent.
Really? Only way?
And the gash in the bullet?
That dent is classic from over lubing brass. Position, size, lack of gouging or scatches. I have seen a lot of other reloaders do it on a brass. Do a search through the forums here nd you can likely find a hundred examples. re: the bullet "gash"... As far as I can blow that picture up and maintain decent clarity I cannot say for sure it is a gash. Might just be soot or other dirt. If it is a gash and it is responsible for the dent in the brass, WHERE IS THE GASH IN THE BRASS AND WHY INSN'T IT AT LEAST SCRATCHED? Why didn't it even mark the neck?
I see no inconsistency with that being a pressure dent from excess lube, and I have never in 64 years of loading seen that dent produced any other way
