My apologies. I thought the product name was included in my first attempt. What is the indented ring on the projectiles about 1/3 of the way down from the tip?

Duane, It is just a unique ring on the bullet. I don't think it has a specific purpose. I have 400 rounds of the 308 and the ring is there as pictured and it actually shoots .75MOA at 100 yards in my Rock River Arms .308 AR-10. Cheers and stay safe!

No purpose just a byproduct of the manufacturing process 
Found a lengthy articlehttps on the accurate shooter website
"  it is helpful to do some mild internal stem polishing. This should eliminate any ring (or dent) that forms on the bullet jacket during seating. Sharp edges on a seating stem can cause a ring to be pressed into the bullet jacket.
But there is really no advantage disadvantage just cosmetic.
