LR308 case marks after firing?

Well by the grace of God, my old boss was willing to trade my old Gen 1 for my Gen 2. He was well aware of the issues but will never reload and just wants it to go bang when the zombies come.
So I took my standard load out with my old Gen 1. Proof is in the pics. I think having .006-.007” less HS and more surface area on the bolt (gen1 has one ejector plunger vs two on the Gen2), the pressure signs have gone away. My Gen 2 with all the works still chewed up brass...this Gen 1 only has a trigger and scope mounted. It’s a hammer like the Gen 2, but doesn’t chew up my brass.
5 shots at 100 through the mag, flier is last round. 42gn H4895, FC brass, 175 smk.

Damn nice shooting!
I am curious to know if you have chronographed your ammo? what is the velocity?
I just got a chrono yesterday and shot today... lapua 308 167gn averaged about2602 and the M118LR(175gn SMK) was a little faster with an average of 2628fps, this is out of a 18" barrel with1:10 twist. I didn't worry about groups, as this ammo doesn't agree with my rifle. when I reload i will post some pics of my poor shooting skills!

Sorry for the delay, I am not getting notifications to this thread.
Lol i was just lucky haha.
I had planned to chrono all of my loads that day but my battery died on me and the spare I had turned out to be the old bad battery I put back in my range bag lol. I will chrono next time out and post up the numbers.

Sorry for the delay. Not sure if I trust my chrono but they are averaging around 2660fps.
