phenom101 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) While cleaning brass for 30-06 i noticed a small disfiguration on most of the cases . It's located right above the head ( 'bout 2mm ) almost directly in the spot , where bolt touches the barrel. Measured under 30x comparator, the difference is somewhere between 0.0003- 0.001" from what it suppose to be . My question : Is this normal ??? is this enough to be concerned about proper functioning of a bolt ? All of my R1 handloads are somewhere in the middle on powder charge. None of them come even close to max. pressure limit. I only noticed this problem poping up while using "faster" powders. None of this happens to any of my other semi-auto rifle' brass. Regular dents and bite marks on extractor ... but no visible marks on case body itself.

tucker301 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 As you know, I don't reload mine, but I'll check the next empty for similar variances. /Ever seen what a HK 940 does to a case? Scrap metal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenom101 Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) Haha , for all i know most of the HK family are brass manglers . Still have my ol' msg90 and like it alot, but it's a total pain to see the policed brass after firing. Shells flying out of the receiver are just deadly as bullets itself lmao. Check a few shells for those markings . I would deeply appreciate this . Hopefully it's nothing to worry about .

tucker301 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I finally got a chance to fire a few rounds today. I hate it when work gets in the way of life, but I'm glad I'm one the lucky few who still know the difference The only marks or variances I'm seeing are from the extractor. I don't see anything beyond those, which appear to be normal. Back to that 940... A hunting buddy has been using one for years. I had the misfortune of standing on the eject side of that thing one day when we were rapid-firing on a herd of does as they tried to escape. After a quick three hot ones on the back of my head, I yielded the forward position to him. ****ed glad I had an insulated cap on! /sidenote - finally got the replacement stock from Benelli today. It could not have been any more different in color and grain than my forearm. No way am I settling for that. Called Benelli and we agreed for me to finish out the season and then ship them the rifle for a matched set. They're also going to look at the bolt hold-open to make sure nothing's wrong there. Good luck with those boars. Happy hunting. [ 12-02-2004, 05:31 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
