Re: New Reloader Questions Regarding Headspace and Pressure

The same thing happens in my factory Rem 700 308, as well as 4ked Horn's factory Rem 700 308. 4ked asked about this a while ago and the consensus was that the factory rams the reamer into the barrel at Mach 3 and it is just the sloppy factory chambering that is causes this. Who knows how many barrels were reamed before your barrel.

The primers look like they just conformed to the bolt face, but in my rifles, all primers look like that. I figure as long as there is no primer flow or piercings then all is well.
