[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2845319, member: 92604"] The mark is only about 40% around the circumference and is at the exact location as the case head separation. Had to use JB weld stuffed into the case remnants in chamber to remove it. I don't recall is the mark was there before that happened and I cannot attest to how well it has been cared for, not my rifle. Now was the mark there when new and it contributes to case failures or at least will contribute to future case failures by weakening that area of the case? I was concerned with the previous cases when they started showing marks like this and I figured it was a stretch mark due to oversizing. Rifle still shoots well. Then the case head separation happened so I told the owner need to get new brass and sorted the loaded rounds, separating out the ones I thought might be impending failures. Told him not to shoot them. I pulled bullets on a couple of them and checked the case inside with bent paper clip and they were fine (?). So I reassembled and they were fired without issue. But one of the other ones I fired to shoot them up partially separated so I quit shooting them, took the last 6 apart and discarded all that brass. The case in picture is one of the 100 Peterson he bought at my suggestion when they were available last fall I think. I was mainly curious of the case separating could cause pitting or damage to the chamber and that is what is causing the mark. I don't use cleaning solutions that are harsh enough to damage the barrel, I don't think I do anyway, maybe he left something in there after cleaning. [/QUOTE]
