This is a 5.56 factory load: frontier 75gr bthp. Does this mark on the brass casing mean that it's having pressure issues? The mark on the right case isn't as bad. I planned on starting to reload for this rifle but if its having weird pressure issues with factory ammo I'll get a new barrel. I go/no go gaged with both passing. Its an 18" ba .223 wylde spr premium series barrel, bcm bcg. Suppressed with a oss hx HD 7.62 can.

Looks fine to me for factory ammo. The frontier ammo I've shot seems to be warmer then some loads. No issues with it.
Those are definitely not reasons to buy a new barrel either. If it's shooting well keep going with it.
