[QUOTE="screamrider, post: 1065319, member: 52942"] I will absolutely try what you're saying with the magic marker over the entire case, thanks for the tip! To answer your question, no, I did not use the magazine at all. I loaded all rounds directly through the ejection port. Did you see all 4 of the pictures from my last post? I think you're right, in that the cases are dragging on the sharp edge of the action, on the inside lip of the ejection port. I tried to show it with a red circle in the pics. If I try your magic marker trick and control the fired case with my finger on ejection, that should stop the case from dragging on that part of the action, thereby confirming the problem. Unfortunately I won't be able to get to the range for 2 weeks. On another note, would it be advisable to size and use these cases again (the norma cases from the first pic, not the really beat up federal nickel plated cases from the series of 4 pictures). I hope so, they're brand new (only fired once) and were pricey! As Bill mentioned I think it's fine from a safety standpoint, but I'm wondering if firing the grooved cases could damage the chamber when the brass expands at the shot. Pretty sure it wouldn't, but would appreciate some experienced opinions. I'll get my gun to the local smith to smooth out that suspect part of my action. [/QUOTE]
