[QUOTE="jrock, post: 931291, member: 78569"] Thanks for those picts and good explanation. They do look cratered like in the first picture. I figured it wasn't a big deal just lack of workmanship on Remington's side. I've seen that one could buy an oversized firing pin to prevent this. I'll see if I can post some picts of the brass shavings and scratch marks on the case. I have some snap caps and they show the marks really well. I assumed that the chamber had some burrs but could not see anything. I took some 0000 steel wool on a dowel with a drill and took that to the chamber and it didn't make a difference. I believe the brass shavings are caused by the extractor scraping off the upper edge (bullet side) of the rim. All my cases seem to have rounded rims now and don't look all that pretty. Can't say I'm a fan of the Remington extractor if it mars brass like this. If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. Sounds like what I've got here. [/QUOTE]
