The lines are for use of optical lasers for QC. The bottom one is for check of powder fill. The top one is for the showing of the area where the base of the bullet would be. That was told to me by a commercial reloader that worked for Remington for 45 years until he retired.
Irregardless of what the Remington retiree said, that is not the case (no pun intended). Taking a Remington wadcutter case and a Remington HBWC, the top case cannelure lines up with the lower bullet cannelure, and the lower case cannelure would be there to further prevent the bullet from dropping down into the case. Remember, these HBWC's are LONG and are fully seated into the case.
