I've got one carbine, probably the best shooting one of the bunch, that leaves some dents in the ejected cases. I was cleaning up the cases for reloading yesterday and noticed what might be some kind of a pattern to it. I haven't shot this one since February, and can't remember too much about where the cases landed, but seems like they were pretty much in one place and easy to find, but may have been almost directly behind me.

I have some notes from when I did the data sheet that shows it has a E279B slide and a flat AI bolt with a Type 3 extractor and a Type 3 ejector. The extractor plunger spring measured about 3/8" and the ejector spring about 1-1/16" - operating slide spring measured 10-1/8." Does anyone have any suggestions to what is causing the dents? The cases must be hitting on something on the way out, but what should I try? I was thinking about changing both springs in the bolt to see what that does for it. Thanks! - Bob
