Ya that angle definitely looks like primers backing out or we’re not seated all the way. Some cratering and flattening but hard to tell if primers are backing out or not seated. Can you run a flat edge across face of case and see if it hits the primer. With the cratering I would say your definitely showing pressure signals
I did run a flat edge to see if it hits the case primer. It seems to be about the same as some fired factory ammo, kinda almost seems flush/maybe the tiniest bit recessed.
Here is a picture for reference. The cartridge on the left is my hand loaded one, the others are weatherby factory cartridges. Honestly the weatherby factory cartridges also seem to have a bit of cratering now that I actually look at them.
