[QUOTE="wwalker, post: 1519628, member: 56984"] I do not post very often but I have to here. I had a Remington 722 in 300 Savage that showed the same ring Grandpa said it had been like that since the 40’s when he bought it after the war. You could never get more than three or four fireings off a price of brass before they would separate at that line. Sometimes in the sizing die and sometimes in the rifle. He never had it rebarreled because it was such a accurate rifle so he lived with it and fired mostly new factory Corelok rounds as it only came out for Deer and Elk season. When he gave it to me when I was eleven I loaded for it and found it to be an annoyance to buy or cut down .308 or 30-06 brass all the time so I had it rebarreled still in .300 Savage as I have a couple of other rifles in .300 and have come to love the cartridge for what it is and what it Can do. What made me rebarrel it finally was a case that separated while fireing and getting a face full of gas. No damage to me or the rifle other than some minor burns but it was enough to never trust that rifle until it was fixed. When having it rebarreled the Smith said the same thing most here have and that it was a reamer chip that had left the line that would cut brass eventually. [/QUOTE]
