Did you size those? I am wondering why you have the dark rings. When I make mine I will get those when I size. If I can make a suggestion. I would make the pattern a little taller so it covers the bullet up to the shoulder of the bullet.
One thing I can't tell is of your ends are meeting? when you roll them on they should go around twice and finish up in the same place. I use 25% cotton onion skin paper but that is VERY hard to find now.
I have the Lee improved minie for my 45. My rifle loves them. Have you ever seen my tutorial I did on paper patching? Ron
