[QUOTE="Elk Hunter 338, post: 1708163, member: 23509"] Ok so this has happened before with brass manufacturers and ive seen it on quite a few newer cases where they build the brass slightly under spec and short, in one case the halted production of a very popular cartridge just lately because of this ( this is also why its extremely important when spec'd wildcats are built off the exact brass you wish to use)).. so when the case is fired it has to expand forward and out which in turn shreds the brass. what your seeing in the "bulge" is not uncommon and actually happens to a lot of factory rifles with sammi spec'd reamers where the brass flows to the weakest spot first and fills chamber up .. what brand of brass have you used?? Your gunsmith called it good and the factory called it good I'd bet money on the fact it was a brass issue! and I would say that its to hard and not flowing like it should!! the brass and ammo guys have so many rifles to be able to shoot in they have to make them on the smaller end of sammi to work in all rifles [/QUOTE]
