Bump your powder charge up just a bit to see if the increased pressure seals the neck. I was getting smudges with some cast bullet loads with 41 magnum brass. I didn't want higher pressure/velocity loads so I annealed ( softened) the portion of the case where the bullet is seated and it solved the problem. I keep these cases seperate for low velocity cast bullets only and don't load them with magnum velocity loadings. If you don't want to increase your powder charge , anneal the necks and reserve them for low velocity loadings.
