[QUOTE="trickytune, post: 964688, member: 69289"] shortgrass I live over 1000km to my current dealer the local one I purchased from is not overly helpful. When I asked the barrel twist before purchase he said it only matters on target rifles. Funny how I'm now restricted by the barrel twist. J E Custom 2 problems the first is the scratch is about 1/3 around the pin and I'm sure may slow it sometimes so I will be taking it back to the shop tomorrow. Hopefully they don't mind I pulled the firing pin out. Second I made up a gauge to check the cases. Set it on 3 fired shells. Winchester factory load .004"-.005" Magtech factory load .005" Wolf .006" Federal AE223 factory . .007"-.008" That would explain why it does it only on that ammo so far. [/QUOTE]
