[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 740291, member: 30902"] Two possibilities come immediately to mind If it's factory ammo . The bolt face is slightly undersized. You have a head space problem. You need to get a gunsmith to look it over before you fire it again. If it's reloads two possibilities. 1) your loads are too hot causing brass flow and expansion at the rim. Are you seeing any other possible pressure signs? 2) As stated above you may need to bump the shoulder back a bit by setting your die a hair deeper. [/QUOTE]
