[QUOTE="charliehorse27, post: 2930975, member: 110063"] Good morning; I have a Seekins Element in 6.5 PRC I handload for. Have a stellar load with ADG brass, Fed 210M primers, 55.7 gr H1000, and Berger 156’s. Everything has been virgin brass so far. Been noticing lately it’s been a little difficult to extract (it isn’t yet the PRC clickers problem since this brass is all virgin) and noticed the case heads are fairly dirty after extracting. The body also shows tiny little indents in places (like sand was in the chamber when fired). The bolt is nitrided black, so this could be a possibility that some of that is coming off. The other thought is that the load is fairly soft so it isn’t fully sealing when firing, and some gasses are coming back. The primers aren’t flat, and no signs of leakage. I do shoot suppressed, so I don’t know if this plays into it. I was going to swab out the chamber and see if there’s some carbon built up on the walls causing the tiny indents. The gun shoots fantastic, but just trying to figure this out. [ATTACH type="full"]504635[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]504636[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
