And this case was no different.. as I was improving bullet flow in the test drum, my extractor was wearing microscopically to offset any noticeable improvement?... In short no change, just very random jams, and marred brass???? So, in a last ditch toss crap at the problem effort! I changed out the extractor with another byf I happen to have along... and Walla! It worked 100% (3 X 32 with no problems) ..... But still marks on the brass case mouth?? ... So I took the ejector, and followed Dwight's instruction, and removed about three degrees from the front, so the tip of the ejector hits the lower middle part of the case head... Walla! That problem disappeared as well?..... ... more as I learn it! Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT...
I'm curious, G.T. Did you get guidance from Dwight by PM, or do you have us mixed up?!

Glad to hear you're among the fast and furious again.
