Is this a problem on my Savage Edge?

[HOWARD J]

I purchased a new Savage Edge (axis)
Looking at the bolt face there was a black ring of what looked like powder burn less than 1/16" wide around the inside edge where the edge of the cartridge touches the bolt face. I had to use lead off yellow rags to remove
this material.
I went shooting yesterday & the same ring appeared on the bolt face.
Is this bad or should I forget about it????

Honsetly IMO its simply a tight lockup and will disappear in time my Model 25 savage did the same I simply cleaned with Hoppes each range use and it's doesn't show now.

I'm quite happywith the gun (243) --It came with a 3-9 scope for $330.00
The gun is very accurate with home loads.
I will tell you that Hoppes will not touch the marks on the bolt.
I have to use those yellow lead removing cloths to get rid of these marks.
As you say--I hope this all goes quietly away
Thanks

I had same black ring on my 12 LRP, there was an explanation why, but you have to do research, I've seen it like 3 month ago.
