    General observations from the pics:
    The trimming on the neck is a bit so-so, some rough edges.
    The neck/shoulder junction is pretty indistinct- ? from partial neck sizing
    The marks at the "200 line" are really just scrapes from the die, don't tell you much.

    I'd give the die a good cleanout as there's a suggestion there's some fine grit in it
    Anneal every firing. Trim only to maxi length. The sizing is as commented is more neck rather than FLS. Run your brass thru a good SSM wash with big dollop of Armourall car wash, big dollop of citric acid and big splash of creme of tartar. Run for 2 hours.
