Ejector Marks/Stuck Ejector

[Csafisher]

So I’m getting some ejector marks and what’s worse is that it’s shaving tiny pieces of brass off and it’s getting around my ejector and making it stick in the down position. This is a Terminus Zeus in 6GT. I’m running alpha brass with 105 Bergers and 32.5grs varget at 2840. .020 off lands. No sticking no heavy bolt lift. This is the 2nd firing. I need to measure growth but once fired brass only grew maybe a thou or so. And this brass still fits and chambers. I also had the same marks at 32grs.

What do y’all think?

I’m hoping the brass is just too short and bounces back hard. But it’s getting annoying. Last couple matches it stopped ejecting during a stage.

This is OCD or gen 1 Alpha?

Probably need to measure chamber and brass. Unless there's something like tight bore, carbon, or moisture causing pressure to go high, you shouldn't be in any danger with 28.5gr varget.

Also, is the ejector just dirty, or damaged?

How far are you setting the shoulder back during resizing?

Ejector is just dirty.

After 1st firing I didn’t bump the shoulder. Just body. They didn’t grow enough to need a bump.
