    Somebody help me understand why we give a shit about this "bright spot".

    It can be a sign of an overpressure condition

    I have had start loads stick in the chamber. Did you check velocity? Did you try some factory ammo? I hate to do it, but I always try some factory first in case there is a problem with the rifle/handgun.

    You will find that some firearms just dont "like" some bullet and powder combinations.

    It can be indicative of a sticking bolt and pressed cartridge. It's one of the classical signs of a load that's too hot.
