    It could be excessive clearance but more likely to be a weakened mainspring which is being overcome by pressure during firing. It needs sorting as a punctured primer can cause bolt face problems as...

    No problems, subject to having good sharp tooling in your lathe. When facing off and crowning always work from the centre of the bore outwards. This will solve any problems with the chrome plating...
