I think this maybe the case. I came up with the idea to run a case into the chamber by removing the bolt and slipping the case into the extractor then chamber it versus picking it up out of the magazine as I thought maybe it was from the feed ramp. Well, the case came out virtually unmarked...
Should I really worry about these marks if I can size them back just enough for easier bolt closure even though they'll still show up?

So I just cleaned it as described and im still getting these scratches on mostly one side and right by the shoulder on the other side and actually somewhat of a ring type scratch towards the bottom. I sized a couple a few thousands more and while it felt easier closing the bolt it still left...
I recently had the barrel and action cerakoted which made the bolt pretty tight and not so smooth, but after several hundred cycles it's smoothed out. I was told both ends of the barrel were plugged and done properly, but I'm wondering if there's grit left in the chamber causing this and if so...
So I just tried a couple rounds that I know are once fired and although the primers went in tight I'm getting a little stiffness when chambering and it appears im getting these streaks on approx half of the case, not all the way around and is even on a part of the shoulder. Is this a sign of my...
They generally go in and close easy. I've been trying to size them so they close with just a bit of tension. Like .002-.003 back on the shoulders.
My current load is 64g h4350 with 180 accubonds and cci 250s
I had worked up from 62g to 65g and got random stiffness like I described with...
Thats kinda what I'm leaning towards doing at least for this rifle is just go buy new brass then I will at least know it's new and if I have issues it'd be because my loads are too hot, which I do not believe so right now, or there's something wrong or outta spec with the rifle

It's Winchester brass that I was told was once fired. I've shot them probably 4-6 times each, haven't really kept track. For what it's worth it does seem that some primers just slip right in there with little effort. Im just wondering if my brass is done for or what.

They're Lee brand. My sizing die is rcbs, which I've been wondering would make a difference in sizing more properly if I had rcbs shell holders. I've been using headspace comparator tool though to verify how much I size them. I've noticed also that when shooting every once in awhile I get a...
I've noticed when using my hand primer some of my brass is real tight sometimes hard to fit into the shell holder. Im wondering if this is because the primer pockets are too loose and have expanded enough to cause a tight fit? Other than that I have no idea what's causing this.

I should state that I actually tested in between shots using my off hand to hold the bag on some shots and then hold a leg of the bipod to load it more on others to see how that would affect things. The bench was smooth and didn't have much to put pressure on the legs without them sliding...
If it were a parallax thing, what would be the issue? I always thought that affected the left and right more than anything. Or could it be a cheek weld difference/ looking through the scope a bit differently?
