[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 92172, member: 319"] [b]Re: Hey txhunter[/b] I've also seen those "ghost images" with light loads of Retumbo. I figured some of it might be caused by a rough ejector and have since replaced the ejector--but haven't worked up from a light load since to see if that helped. Once I determined these weren't "real" ejector marks and added more powder they went away. Then once I'd get to real high pressure loads ejector marks would re-appear but they'd be really shiny, "wiped" looking ones. Those are what I call "real" ejector marks and back down from any load that shows them. In my rifle (A-Bolt), even when these marks show up bolt lift is still as light as ever. So in short, my advice is back off from shiny, wiped, marks. Don't fret over ghost images that you only notice because you're looking at the case under a magnifying glass--they do not mean you're over pressure as the chronograph will show, as will adding powder and seeing them go away.
