MSRs are generally hard on brass all the way around in my experience.
I dinged up some virgin Lapua .308 the first time I shot it.
Pretty sure mine are dinged near the neck from when the brass gets launched hard into the shell deflector and bounces off.
I have to chalk it up as an expensive lesson.
Now I try to load range pickup brass for my ARs and keep it in a separate can.
