Yep, I've dealt with the minor rings even on plated bullets if the two profiles don't agree with one another. I'm hoping to get some loaded up in the next few days. No hogs around here, fortunately, but should provide a decent defense against other toothy critters if needed. I'm going to start my handloading with Longshot and see what kind of results I get...AA#9 and 800X are options as well.
