[QUOTE=".280AI Freak-Nasty, post: 2532274, member: 117997"] I see what you are saying, Some of those cases are from the 212 ELDX, and they eject a little stiff but the ones that are from the 225-grain ELDM have flattened primers, it may be hard to see in the pics. But the 225s were very hard to close the bolt on and I was worried I may have to send the gun back to CA with the empty case still in it, because I almost couldn't get the bolt to open and when I finally did I almost could not pul the bolt open to eject the brass I had to beat the bot open with the palm of my hand and then beat the bolt all the way back. I was told that they have a very tight chamber so to try a lighter/shorter bullet. So that is when I tried the 212 ELDX they still are pretty snug to close the bolt on because of the projectile engaging the rifling but both the 212 and the 225 only engage the rifling on one side of the bullet. and they leave pretty deep striations on the bullet from the rifling on that one side as well. Thanks so much, JIm [/QUOTE]
