[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2846388, member: 10755"] Wow, there is NO headspace issue…just because there is a scuff on the brass that LOOKS similar to a head separation does NOT make it so. Looks to me, and I have seen hundreds of chambers with a Hawkeye scope, that a piece of swarf was caught in a flute of the reamer and made a mark before exiting the flute, it is NOT deep enough to cause an issue but can be polished out in a few seconds with scotch brite. To the OP, the belt recess is part of the reamer, it is cut at .220” or a ‘thou less by good ‘smiths. It rarely ever poses a problem of excess headspace and this is NOT your issue. It could also be a faint gas cutting mark from a case head separation, but this is unlikely as they occur when the case shrinks back from being forced against the chamber wall, not from expansion as many will tell you as gospel. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
