Another question regarding pressure

DLT

Silver $$ Contributor
I have a bighorn origin action for a build. I didn’t think about it till I was asked but it being a mechanical ejector vs your standard remington or savage ejector. What do I need to look for in terms of pressure Will it still form a swipe on case head ? I assume the hard bolt lift will still be there no matter what the action
 
You’ll see a square witness mark where the ejector cut is. No different to any other signs apart from the mark being square. It’ll crater primers early.
Um. Can someone elaborate on the early primer cratering ?

You’ll see signs of cratering before the ejector mark in my experience due to the relationship of the pin in the bolt face.
Oh alright. I took it as bc it had a manual ejector that the primers would crater earlier. Thanks
