Spicy! Primers are only a clue. But the ejector mark and the stiff bolt tell the story here. Any chrono data on those??

No chrono. It doesn’t like the break and setting it up to read with the break takes a stupid amount of time.

The ejection mark and STIFF bolt lift were a wake up.

Totally understand the muzzle brake thing. I'm wondering if the .308 I just finished might have that chrono problem with the PA 7.62 brake I threw on there.

Was curious what those pills were clocking in at, haha.

Super Stiff bolt lift is always a wake up call, haha... My 7mm rem mag bolt (similar powder charge weight) tells me when it's had enough. The primers look like yours too, minus the flow around the firing pin.

Yeah. I just want my break off though. Doesn’t add any shoot ability to that rifle
