We don't have a commutation problem. We have a problem of not reading the whole article before engaging my mouth.

What we have here is a failure to communicate :....I can clearly see carbon on the neck/ shoulder junction, I vote for blow-by from the case head separation.
"The cratering you are experiencing is from a design in the bolt face, it does not effect any thing in a negative way it is a worry to some because it makes it difficult to read your primers for reloaders. With this said Remington will replace your bolt, follow the instuctions on the web-site for sending your whole gun to us for repair"

The cratering you are seeing is normal on the gun manufactured between 2008 and 2010. We began putting a bevel on the face of the firing pin hole in order to allow the primer cup to flow back and thicken the primer at the most likely point of failure during the firing pin strike. This was to reduce the likelihood of a pierced primer and greatly reduce the risk of injury to the shooter overall.

This is, of course, pure bull-scatology.
Primers that flow back into a bevel, do not get thicker, they get thinner.

Why do you think they do this? I haven't seen them marketing this "innovation".
but I don't think they do it anymore??
What is the best process to fix the problemOne too many reloads on a batch of 300 Win Mags and had a case head separation. What I have not seen before was dimples on the case wall just below the shoulder. Cause?

I thought for sure someone would comment on my cratered primer.

Belted magnums are just a problem. No die works the shoulder and belt correctly they usually just go one or the other too much. I used to shoot tons of belted magnums but i try not to anymore theyre just a problem all around
