Got greedy and tried to get one more load out of some federal brass which were already pretty loose, shot the box of 50 at prairie dogs about three weeks ago. After inspecting the brass, 3 of the 50 blew a hole in the side of the primer and there was flow to the bolt face and it put a couple nice pits in the bolt face. A couple thou deep, should I get a new bolt face?

I would keep on truckin and not miss a beat, save your bolt face money and buy some brass.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
I see you're using Winchester primers. I had a lot of 5/m of these primers which were undersized and messed up the bolt face on my Tikka .243. Finally after about 3 months got my money back from Win.
