That looks like ejection damage, to me.
The cases would not do that while a bullet was still seated.
And, if you look at the full size image, it looks like at least 50% of the cases have at least one ding/dent in the case mouth that should correspond with spring-loaded ejection.

I don't see it listed above... What action is this rifle based on?

It's a bolt inferring from what he's written, I think.

It's a Savage 111. I've not experienced it before, but it's probably from me ejecting a stuck case. I'm going to pay more attention and try to note the orientation when it comes out bent though.

I have the same gun in 300 win mag--also a belted case--haven't seen that yet, I'm guessing a sizing issue--or does this also happen with factory ammo?

"Could the rifling be gummed up enough with copper in 200 shots"

200 shots through a 7mm mag w/o cleaning?

flyboyjake, who's barrel are you using?

I clean it, just not for copper fouling. But I did the other day before testing again. No change really. It's a McGowan barrel
