I sometimes eject into my hand sometimes ground. Not saying burning like a 7400 but hot. I leave the bolt open between shots to let it cool too
I've never used small base dies with remington brass, which is all I have ever shot, that I can remember. This is the first time with starline. I may simply just not use it in this rifle.
I am not sure what is going on with remington and reloading components. Not sure if they quit making them or just out of stock.
I have shot this gun a lot without issues. I did oil the lugs, which I have never done before. The brass was hot before that, but not splitting. I shot it this weekend no splitting. But it only split twice last time.
