Was shooting my .35 Whelan in my T/C Encore yesterday and after the first shot the breech face was covered in smut and the bore was really black. On the second shot, the primer backed out a little and on the 10 shots after, nothing noticeable at all. The first cartridge appeared to have blown out all the way around the primer. I never have experienced this before; could this be a headspace issue? Thanks.
