With 300 rounds through it.
It all started last week when the 4th shot was nearly hard to extract.
I didn't think much of it at the time.
This week it happened again and upon close inspection of the brass there is a small scratch that can just catch a fingernail just below the shoulder. It's about 1/4" long and crescent shaped.
I shot a few more and most of them had the same marks. Then I chambered a round and extracted it, the round was not difficult at all to extract but it still had the same mark as the brass that was already fired.
When I got home I looked at my old brass and I couldn't find any that had this mark.
What could be the problem?
Also does anyone know a gunsmith in the Utah area... preferably within a few hour drive from Salt Lake City that is not only a gunsmith but also a long range shooter?
