They are around 2875 fps,out of a factory 18 inch barrel. .260 caliber.

That could be pretty quick for a standard .260 out of an 18" barrel, depending on what projectiles.

120 grn projectiles.

That sounds a reasonable speed. I dont think it is excessive headspace as generally, accuracy goes out the window if you have it. Can you rechamber a fired case with those symptoms easily?

No worries at all.

I'm at last onto the minute shavings from the rim thing,the extractor under a magnifying glass appears to have a very fine sharp bit,enough to scrape the rim.
I also checked out the last few rounds fired and only one out of twelve showed slight ejector mark.Maybe nothing too big to worry about at all.
