Rifle Case Marks Identify

I can see from the photo that its a similar rifle to the one I cutted 2 spirals from the ejector spring.
During the ejection the too strong ejector forced the case against the right side of the action all the way back until the case mouth reached the ejection port. I also didn't like it so relieved some strength from the ejector before shooting the rifle for the first time.

Agreed especially as it doesn't do it with a full cartridge
 
View attachment 130557 These are 6.5 Creedmoor Casings ran thru a bolt action with small marks on neck which turns into scratch and a ding to the right at the base of scratch. Can this be 1 or more issues here? Any help with what is going on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Just guessing here,But, could the case be slapping the rear scope base as it's being ejected?

It definitely pops to the side wall when it clears the chamber. With hot brass, it may be my dent as well.

My guess it's the strong ejector spring which is dragging the case on a sharp edge on the inside of the receiver during ejection. It's not your dies or your chamber I don't think. Had the same problem. Watch as you eject a case and see where it is hitting on the inside of the receiver.
