[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 699778, member: 5302"] That's different then. It's around the firing pin hole at a diameter about equal to the primer or a bit bigger. It's usually called erosion as it's caused by the same gas that erodes the throat and leade in the barrel and metal's removed by the process. Cratering usually refers to surface material being raised up around the crater put in it by some force; a firing pin tip dimpling the primer and some cup material's raised above the primer's flat surface. No metal's done away with with cratering. [/QUOTE]
