First time using bushing die. Does this look normal?

First time using a new RCBS FL Matchmaster 6GT die and .266" RCBS bushing (GA Precision's recommendation for Alpha brass). I'm wondering if this looks normal. Seems like the bushing is shaving down the outside of the case neck ever so slightly and leaves a ring that can be felt if you run over it with your fingernail. Bushing is in the correct orientation. Using a generous amount of Hornady OneShot lube. Die is set up for a .002" shoulder bump, measured using a Hornady comparator. Bushing is set so that it can "float" slightly per instructions (can hear it rattle if you shake the die). took the bushing out and tried to polish up the beveled mouth using some fine steel wool and it didn't seem to make any difference. Thoughts?

Does my new rear CV axle look fully seated?

I replaced a rear CV axle on my 2019 GMC Terrain a few weeks ago because it had a lot of play and was making an audible clunking sound at low speed. It was the original with 140k miles on it. To replace it, I used a TrakMotive from RockAuto. I greased the clip and gave it a few good whacks with a mallet and it popped right in (or so I thought). Now I'm second guessing myself whether it is fully seated or not. Today, I went under the car and there is a decent amount of rotational slop as well as outwards/ inwards slop. I've driven a few hundred miles this way so far with no grinding sounds or loss of fluid. I have only driven in 2WD mode. Have not had any reason to try 4WD mode and now I'm kind of worried to try it. If it is not fully seated, is it possible to whack it in further while assembled or do I need to remove the wheel/ brake/ spindle as if I were doing the job all over again to be able to do that?

The reason why I replaced the original axle:

2019 GMC Terrain AWD low speed clunking sound

Trying to figure out the cause of this sound coming from the rear of my vehicle. It only happens when I am off the gas and coasting at low speed such as approaching a stop light. No noticeable sound when I accelerate or am at highway speed or any other circumstances. Car drives fine otherwise. 140k miles. It is a rotational sound. The faster I go, the faster the rate of the clunking. Any ideas ?

First Cook on Home Depot Price Error Koda 2 Pro

I've been looking to up my pizza game for the past few years. Previously was using a Traeger pellet grill with a Green Mountain pizza stone/ dome insert. It made a B- pizza at best. Picked up my 2 Pro from the online Home Depot Price error the other day. I made 2 325 gram doughs balls 72 hours ago and made 2 14 inch pies tonight.. Once I get my 18" peel and pans, I'll start making some bigger pies to take advantage of the size of this thing. This pie cooked in about 2 minutes. Stone temp was around 700 degrees.
