Black marks on fired cases

I just got a 45 LC Ruger Bisley. Put a 200 gr LSWC over 10.0 Unique. Shoots well but some of the cases have dark black streaks that start by the mouth and go back 1/2 to 2/3rds of the case length. Any ideas? Brass is PMC and was originally Cowboy loads.
 
Low Pressure

You have the classic signs of a low pressure load. Your load is not generating enough pressure to seal the case against the chamber wall and gas is flowing back around the unsealed case. You have two options. One, forget it. It's only a cosmetic problem. Two, try to duplicate your load using a faster powder which will give more pressure and yet yield the same velocity.
