Sharpie

The Sharpie is not a bad idea. However it is much easier, faster, and you get better results if you just "Smoke" the entire case with a candle. Chamber the round then extract, you will quickly notice any markings in the "Smoke". When you chamber the round take the bolt out and line the first letter of the name of the brass in the 12 o'clock position. Then push the round into the chamber with a pencil. Then reinstall the bolt, and close. This way when you take the casing out you will know where in the chamber you are rubbing.

However it could easily be the bullets are seated too deep into the lands, and the bullet is jammed in the lands.

You did not mention whether you were crimping or not. If you are not crimping and the bullets are jammed into the lands then you will pull the case out and the bullet will remain in the lands.

If you are bulging your crimp the you will see that real fast when you "Smoke" your case. Tom.
