I was depositing the bead on a .043" SS beer keg top I

This is quite thin (I realized it only now). Some MIG/MAGs have trouble
with that.
What I would try (sorry, I read that you installed your flux core) to
do: Go up with your voltage. It is OK if you are burning holes after
some (2 to 3 seconds). As your MIG/MAG doesn't make interval welding,
you have to do it manualy. 1 Second on, 1 second of, 1 on, 1 off....
Work your way around it.
This is boring, I admit. But I think your weld is not too long.

Also, if you go up with voltage (and risk of burning a hole) you can do
the following: If you are near YAH (yet another hole) increase the
distance between nozzle and part. This will make a cooler arc. Takes
some practice. :-)
