    What is this on my brass?

    Alright I have an update, he got the rifle out and done an inspection. According to him the barrel amd the chamber and the bolt including the bolt face is clean.

    I think you might be onto something, some of the shooting tables at the range do have carpet pads cushioning the concrete tops.

    The rifle is a couple years old probably 5 years ish old, with 80 to 100 rounds through it. I probably suspect something was left in from the cleaning

    Superior 7MM?

    Thats what im beginning to feel something more along the lines of the 7-08 or 284 win. What do you like more about the 7 PRC over the 7 mag

    Superior 7MM?

    I've been looking into the 284 Win, I dont know much about it. But it seems to bridge the gap between 7mm-08 and 280 AI really nice. Velocities aren't much lower in the 284 win at the 150 -160 gr. Projectiles. This might be a cartridge im into
