Was breaking in the new Mihec 147gr 9mm mould I got. I ran the mold a bit fast trying to keep pace with the hollowpoint pins needing to be hot and at some point in time must have cut a sprue that was still solidifying and a little bit of lead smear build up happened around the base of one of the cavity molds. Caused some minor tearing on about 100-150 of these before the pot got empty and I noticed during an inspection while I waited on the new lead in the pot to melt:

Would you keep these or cull them? I'm generally not too picky; the amount of the base that is blemished is small, but it is right on the base. If it were 5-10 I wouldn't care and toss them but if I had to guess I'd say we're looking at over a hundred like this easy.
