    Bolt Face marks?

    Anyone seen this before? I've had issues with Nosler brass and loose primer pockets. This safe or ok?

    it is safe but really sucks
    loads to hot for the brass and chamber
    the loose primer leaks gas and burns the face.
    it may simply be that the chamber is too large for the lads you want to shoot.
    the brass too soft load too hot

    Nosler brass appears to be garbage. I do starting to mid loads and primer pockets become loose after 2-3 firings. Some pieces get a little more.

    i have shot nosler and not had that issue.
    load data is not a bible..it is a guideline...if you are losing primer pockets and your boltface looks like that.
    you are most likely TOO HOT

    30-06, 22" barrel

    53-55gr of IMR 4350 with Accubond 180gr

    It's been through the ringer with different powders and load testing.

    Can I replace just the bolt face?
