    As a curiosity, take a measurement with a micrometer at the base of each of you fired cases, that might give you an indication of how much pressure was coming out of them. Just to see if you see an increase in the web diameter as your barrel got dirtier
    Yes I had a suppressor on. I’m pretty thorough with the cleaning. Will have a look at the web diameter thanks for the suggestion.

    Issue was sporadic, didn’t happen in a row. I found some post on Rokslide and Reddit mentioning hot 7mm PRC Hornady factory load.
