[QUOTE="Jaeger476, post: 35908, member: 2625"] I'm not seeing any flattened primers or craters, the bolt is not much stickier after firing than before. I am also not seeing any leakage around the primers. I think I will probably try the H4831 unfortunately it is a four hour drive to get any from where I live. As for how the damage to the bore occured I have no idea I've racked my brain trying to figure it out but I couldn't come up with anything. The only thing I can say is that the particular section of the barrel that suffered damage always had a few tiny pits (like pin pricks) inside the bore (it came this way from the factory). When I contacted the Remington service department they told me if it was still shooting great I shouldn't worry about it. Not wanting to mess with the accuracy I was getting out of it I left it (would you want to mess with 1/3 MOA accuracy out of a stock factory rifle?). When I contacted the factory after I discovered the damage they told me it was possible that it was a flaw in the steel but they would have to check it at the factory or an authorized Remington repair shop (minimum two months in any of these situations) so I found a reputable gunsmith and sent it to them instead.
