    Greetings Sidetrack, The bulge just above the solid base of the case is nothing to worry about. Just the case being smaller than the chamber. Often seen when the cases are a little undersize'...

    Sidetrack Thanks for the kind words. As an aside; I see you live down the Catlins. Used to visit the Catlins twice a year when I was doing nature photography. Very nearly moved there! :)
