[QUOTE="riverrat13, post: 1511034, member: 100921"] Thanks to [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/members/jlvandersnick.40932/']jlvandersnick[/URL] for steering me in the right direction. For anyone who encounters this problem in the future, I will describe what I believe was my problem and what I did to prevent it. This is a Rem 700 action with a standard bolt face. I believe the ejector was slamming my empty case against the inside of the action prior to ejection at such a force it was denting my necks. The force, against the still very hot brass is what is causing the deformation. I removed ejector pin and spring by using a 1/16'' punch on the pin directly behind the ejector pin. After removing the pin, the ejector and spring will fall out. My existing spring measured 1.1'' long. I cut 0.1'' off of the spring with a pair of electric pliers (needle nose would probably work) then reinstalled the spring and ejector. That minimized the force of ejection quite a bit, but it is still enough to force the case out of the action. I haven't had a chance to try a fired case, but it appears that it will eject the round just a few inches out of the action. Previously, the case would fly at least a foot. I honestly wish I would have cut a little bit less, maybe .08 instead of .1. Hope this helps someone in the future. [/QUOTE]
