I just bought some 308 Remington brass. Up toward the neck, on the case is an oval shaped mark. It looks like a pressed cut line in the case. I would post pics if I knew how but I don’t. I’ve never seen this oval circle on brass. Can anyone give info? I hope my description makes sense. Any thoughts appreciated.

Seems as though I have heard of something similar caused by the case hitting parts of the action when fired from a semiauto?

Brass from an HK91 pattern rifle will normally have a big dent in it.

I got that mark when I ran a double ejector bolt in my AR10...I ended up swapping to a single ejector bolt and it fixed my issues. I could've removed or cut the springs out on the ejectors but didn't want to mess with that.
Good luck.

Is this from just hard ejection?

Whatever gun those were fired in had a defect in the chamber.

No whoever used that brass had a pressure gauge attached. Would assume it came from range at a a ammo maker. Should be fine.
Copied from online brass seller.......
**DISCLAIMER: Some of the Remington-Peters Rifle brass has a circular mark just beneath the case neck which is an impression left by the piston hole ring attachment that pressure checks the brass. We had samples sent in and tested to ensure that it DOES NOT compromise the integrity of the brass. To our understanding, it is purely a cosmetic issue and not one that affects the quality of the brass. It is not on all of the casings, only some of them. However, if you experience any issues with them please feel free to contact us and we will make it right.**
