[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1980565, member: 69478"] I had a similar issue happen with my Peterson .243 brass when it was virgin. I was getting ejector marks on loads that were 2gr below my old load and 150FPS slower. I contacted them and they said it was an issue with some of their brass that they were working towards fixing. They explained it to me that the case heads are through hardened and that the outer layer of brass can be soft even if the center and interior walls of the brass is hard. This will leave an ejector mark even with lighter loads. They told me to just watch my primers and feel for a stiff bolt lift and to stop if the ejector marks got really bad. I got up to within 30fps of my old load and only get a couple very faint ejector marks on once fired brass now. I don’t know how ADG but this Peterson .243 brass is the only brass I’ve ever used that exhibited ejector marks early on. All other brass I’ve used shows ejector marks when I’m at the top end of pressures. [/QUOTE]
