[QUOTE="Brother Buckwheat, post: 2911348, member: 76005"] I don't believe the case is "breaking free" at bolt lift, as the scratches are straight. With my cheap calipers- Unfired Barnes:.50 Unfired Barnes: .51 Fired Barnes: .51, .52. .52 Fired Rem.: .50 on the samples I kept separate. Perhaps the Barnes aren't springing back. This is my first experience also with copper. Perhaps pressure or brass thickness as you suggest. It's going to be a while until I can really experiment as I have a box of Hammer bullets I'm going to reload with the Rem. empties. But that will be after deer season and waterfowl season ends, and finish a remodel, you know life gets in the way. I'll contact Barnes soon and have a chat with them. I don't think Rem. will be much help as the Coreloct was purchased well before their fiasco they went through. As I said before the barrel was cleaned well (over a 2-day period) with Wipe Out until No copper showed on my patches. I was previously using an ammonia-based bore cleaner that I would have to go out to the shop and look at the brand. [/QUOTE]
