[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 931598, member: 6452"] Like I said before my 700 SPS did the exact same thing to brass of my .308. the difference is the belt on your 7Mag is the highspot. Once I smoothed off the bottom of my bolt it quit destroying brass. Unless you never fed that snap cap in from the magazine? If you picture the bottom of your bolt as a file you can imagine dragging it across the top round in the magazine as if it were being held in a vice. The extractor can't be scratching the belt but could be damaging the "rim" I suppose. I would take your steel wool (better yet 600 grit wet/dry) and run it along the underside of your bolt. Mine felt like 150 grit sandpaper out of the box and the first 50 brass I bought I thought wouldn't last more than a couple loadings. [/QUOTE]
