I've lately been going through a few bricks of Remington .22lr of various types- Thunderbolt, Golden Bullet, Subsonics, Target, etc…
I'm finding that the outside of the spent cases have rather large burn marks- roughly .25" diameter- on one side after firing. A couple cases have even had a notch of brass missing from the rim.
None of the other brands of ammo I'm using display this phenomenon, so I'm guessing it is not an issue with the chamber of the rifle (Savage MKII, ~5000rds fired).
Anyone else noticed this, or have any data to indicate that the Remington ammo might be a slightly smaller diameter than other brands?
I'm going to make the current brick my last of Remington, as I imagine that the blown off bits of brass are doing the bore no good whatsoever, and I like the rifle quite a bit.
