Lube star & throat

Hi guys, was up at the range a few days ago and I noticed I didn't have a lube star or if any I could not see any. I am javelina (sp) lube and a 205 gr brooks bullet. Also the chamber is a Sammie chamber with no LED. Bs seated as per pics. Can you see anything wrong with that? 
     Will try to post pics.

Next pet I get, going to name Lubestar. 

What size groups are you getting at two hundred yards? 

Have you figured out how to use propane for a propellant?

Larry,
If your not getting any leading on a hot day (100+), I wouldn't worry about it. I think a better lube is Javalina Schuetzen though. It's softer and you may get alube star with it.

By the looks of your bullet, I'd move it in another .010 - .015

Frank, that's the lube I use. So I should seat it a little deeper?
As far as grouping goes, I haven't been able to use 200 yet. At 100 it wants to do about 3/4 when I dope the wind. About 1380 mv. Don't see any leading. It's a new BRC barrel I put on with a Sammie (sp) chamber.

Thanks for the input. Cheesy

What is a Sammie SP chamber? Never heard of it. 

If the rifle shoots good no need to worry about a lubestar. I know it's nice to have one, fun to compare with other lubestars. Can even brag a little.  When the time comes and you've attain lubestar status, don't stick it in someones face when they're not ready. People don't like that.

Sammie (sp) means he was unsure of the spelling of SAAMI Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, in other words a standard "factory" chamber.

I demonstrated my lube ring the other day by putting my muzzle on my white tenny while yacking at the range. Stupid thing to do, since the muzzle could have slipped and got buggered up on the pavement. It made a perfect impression, like it had been sent to a scanner and printed on my shoe. 
Joe, if  you get a pet named lubestar, please don't let him sit on anybody's carpet.
