    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.

    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.
