I have had to polish the inside of Lee dies some times with 0000 steel wool on a rod in a drill to get rid of tool marks.

i got to thinking. if the ring was from the lube, wouldnt it have more of a smooth edge on the ring. it felt more like a cut or crimp. If our master machinist is at work tonight i will have him to look at it, and see what he thinks too.

thanks
