Thanks for all the attaboys, I was informed that the crimp groove was full and the groove at the gas check was, well not full. I made the the lube die not knowing where the lube was supposed to go... Still learning!

look good You have evidently done your research what you're doing the fact that you used a gas checked mold I would imagine you've you some type of soft lead but as long as you guess check it you have absolutely no trouble from it I make bullets commercially and I have had them turn out looking a lot worse than that

That info is correct but still, they look great just the same. Mine didn't but I shot 'em up anyway. And like another said, "welcome to the addiction".
