[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 561942, member: 30902"] Could well be Paul. Also it's hard to tell from the angle but it looks to me like your primers are showing some pressure signs. They seem to be almost flat with the base of the shell instead of just recessed a tiny bit. It also appears the firing pin holes are a little exaggerated which would also indicate high chamber pressure. If your chamber is a little loose that would account for the ring and apparent swelling and that would be exaggerated a bit by excessive pressure. Might try backing off a half grain or even full grain and use some new brass and see what it looks like. [/QUOTE]
