Hey i recently bought a 1903 springfield, high serial number safe to fire, got it checked out by a local gunsmith he said it was in good condition and safe to fire but just to check the first casing from the first round i fire to check if the primer was struck clean by the firing pin, and it was but i noticed on all of the spent casings there is a slight, and i mean slight, bulge about a quarter inch from the base. Is this something i should be worried about or is it normal? I figure it would be caused by to much head space but then wouldnt that mean the primer wouldnt have been struck clean? I will check with my gunsmith again as well just wanted to see if this is something you guys have noticed in other 03's?
