    I have done a lot of reloading for pistol revolver shotgun and rifle using Winchester primers and have never had any trouble with any of them

    I think some of the problem can be hot loads or old brass also. I have a gas ring on the bolt face of my 280AI using nosler brass and Federal primers.

    Just a nice clean ring mark. Looks the same as my 308 bolt face, failure free.

    It has a cut ring. It can be felt and seen easily.

    Is it the darker looking ring? It looks almost perfectly cut. We have a dude at our FTR range with a bolt face looking very similar.

    Yes, the dark ring where gas has been slowly cutting the face. I'm not too worried, it still shoots fine.
