[QUOTE="M77Fan, post: 2040241, member: 115996"] Mine also smudged the case head similarly. Also at times had tight bolt lift, inconsistent. All I was able to use reliably was nickel plated Federal cases until the bolt was trued. It was shaving brass from beneath the rim; Federals maybe had a rim thickness a few micrometers thinner or nickel made a difference or something, so they would work and others not so much. I would take it to a good gunsmith and have them do some measurements to make sure things are true and squared up. My guy is a picky machinist type, found it quickly. [/QUOTE]
