I have seen craterered prinmers before and beyond pressure they be caiused by too weak a firing pin spring or too large a hole in the bolt. There is no excess expansion, nor does it flatten the primer, so it isn't pressure in my case causing the cratering. I have done extensive web measuring as well as measuring the primer pockets and Rims. It isn't hard to chamber loads but it too craters primers, even on minimum loads. Mine chambers laod rounds fine and shoots well.

Out of curiosity Dean2, what are you experiencing with your gun? Over at CGN, there's been a couple of threads already about people with exactly the same problem I had with mine with the same or similar guns (chamber too tight to close the bolt with a cartridge chambered, so tight it was causing high pressure conditions as evidenced by cratered primers and stretched primer pockets in my case). They are probably up past their heads in warranty repairs for Remington as they are THE repair centre for Canada. I will give them the benefit of the doubt however, and assume they have done a good job of repairing it, the lack of communication notwithstanding. Just received it back, and I suppose I can now hope for the best.

There was no further information, nothing in the box about what was fixed or anything. I could've been on holidays/away/whathaveyou and wouldn't have been able to change my plans to allow for receiving it. No one called or emailed to say it was done or that they were shipping it back. My only complaint was after following up with them about 3-4 weeks after shipping the gun (there was no notification or acknowledgment they had received it) and finding out they were waiting for a part from the US, suddenly it showed up one day at the door. Haven't had a chance to test it yet, but they seem like nice enough people.
