While shooting Sunday I had a unique experience. My Waypoint 6.5 PRC has less than 100 rounds on it. All were factory loads, either Hornady 143 ELDX Blackbox or Berger 156 EOL. I had no problems previously. Sunday I fired 2 5 shot groups with the Hornady and one 5 shot group with the Bergers. I had 2 of the Hornadys left so I load them. The first had some slight bolt lift and the second had more. I looked at the primers and saw that there was very heavy extractor mark. To the point that it raised a fudge that caught on my finger. None of the others had any marks at all. What could have caused this? I’ve been shooting almost 60 years and never had this happen before.
