[QUOTE="Bill Johnson, post: 1064578, member: 84129"] A few thought: I see no signs of high pressure. Pressure high enough to cause primer cratering will also flatten the primer to the point it fills the bevel in the primer pocket. That's not there. Those marks and primer issue, without other signs of high pressure, are generally related to the bolt. When I see the primers like that, the first thing I think of is the firing pin hole in the bolt face is too big. Secondly, as to the ejector mark issue, if you look at Stillers Precision, the maker of your action, you will see this: [CENTER][FONT=Arial][COLOR=red][B]NOTICE: A few actions were shipped with ejectors too long.
