Thread: Ruger Ranch II Bolt face - do I have a problem?

Both - bloody hell that's a rough bolt face. Looks like it was finished with a bucket of gravel. What's with it being beaten to all get out around the rim?

Yes you do have gas cutting. Either weak primer or loose primer pocket. It happens - if it happens often you might need to change primer or discard brass that have too looser primer pocket.
