    What size pills are they, doing 2670? Not uber hot loads but maybe hot? What primers are you using? Do they seat nice and firm in the pocket? That's looking like primer flash erosion. Do your fired cases have a black ring around the primer?

    I think those gouges at 4 and 7 o'clock are unrelated. Maybe more to do with a feeding issue from the mag.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    No. I will get my mate that reloads for me to check all of the brass after Christmas.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Post a picture of the base/head of your latest fired rounds.

    I would say you have been most likely using Winchester primers & they have been leaking through pin holes as previously posted many times.

    The plunger is stuck down by gas cutting & or bits of gas cut debris off the bolt face.

    Yep I agree Maca. I can get the bolt fixed but need to identify the root cause before shooting again.
