I also see some raised rims around the firing-pin indents where primer metal has tied to flow back along the firing pin. Definitely time to look for slightly reduced loads. There can be a price to pay for snug headspacing. I think I see some burnishing on the shoulders of a couple of those cases. Might also be worth taking the rifle to a gunsmith and have him check the chamber with go no-go gauges? Or return it to the retailer as faulty and have HIM get it sorted.

All headspacing is snug- by necessity.

Maybe you actually mean something else?

Yep @6x47. Actually meant too- tight headspacing. (Too little?) Thanks for pulling me up.
