[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2040809, member: 385"] Looks to me like two issues. First is the fact that you are trying to get a 742 to run well. Most just don't unless they are very regularly and perfectly cleaned. Remington bolt guns are so much more dependable. If I'm looking at the fired cases correctly, I'm seeing overpressure signs on the primers. This appears to be "cratering", which is a sign of very soft primers or overpressure. Winchester factory primers are moderately hard, so soft primers are not likely the issue. Second I'm seeing excessive burnishing of the fired case in the area of the web. Could be a rough rifle chamber or could be high pressure. Obvious thing to try is another brand of ammo. Thoroughly clean the rifle, including taking a brass brush to the chamber. Hopefully the rifle will run okay for your needs at that point. [/QUOTE]
