[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1205061, member: 59502"] I don't see ejector marks or swipe marks on your case head in the picture , I'd inspect all other fired pieces of brass and measure your primer pockets any ones larger than .210" have definitely been over pressured. Im assuming these are once fired brass ,correct ? Cratering is sometimes related to an oversized firing pin hole more so than over presure. However , at sometime the past there has been a case or two that has definitely been an over oressure load fired in that chamber . Two of my factory Savages came from the factory with "ghost ring" gas cutting on the bolt face from test firing from the factory proof loads. Im assuming you checked the bolt face for this gas pitting before you shot the rifle new. If the pitting just happened and you are loading a light starting load and just a few pieces of brass have enlarged primer pockets than I'd bet you probably dropped too much powder in a few cases without knowing it. ??? It happens. [/QUOTE]
