Thread: ejector marks

Hi Guys

Just back from the range and have a question.

I was firing 150 Hornady SST factory ammo and was for the first time in 70 rounds getting ejector marks on the cartridge head, bolt just a little sticky. Grouping bloody good! Tiny pieces of brass on the end of the bolt as well.

It was a little warmer today, would that explain the extra pressure?

There was a very experienced reloader, he said fine to use ammo as is but not to use the cases for reloading, thoughts please.

I know my chamber is tight, I have even had trouble closing the bolt on another batch of same ammo, does a tight chamber also create extra pressure?

Look forward to the wisdom of the forum so cheers in advance

Cheers

Dino
