[QUOTE="Derfman, post: 2722821, member: 125828"] The rifle was headspaced incorrectly by the gunsmith. I brought it back to him, and he said he knew exactly what happened. From what I remember, he said he was trying to figure out why he had an extra recoil lug for a 700 Remington, or a recoil lug that was unidentified; in any event, the recoil lug installed was not the one for my rifle, and he had the correct one, knew exactly where it was, installed it and everything worked out well after that. If you look closely, you can see the ejector hole circles, but there was really not high pressure, and the results in the picture are entirely due the brass accelerating toward the bolt face for .027”. On second thought, you are probably correct in that the ejector marks probably would have been the same with ejector installed. [/QUOTE]
