I'm shooting .222 Remington 35gr out of my .222 Springfield Model 840. 5 rounds fired and all 5 rounds dimpled out. This is not the only ammo brand to do this. Can anyone give advice? See pic.

We talking about the mark towards the bottom? That is odd. One could suspect weak case but if more than one batch? Look inside the barrel and see if there is a defect. Cases will expand to the barrel they are fired from but usually it is uniform and not like this. I am interested to others opinions as well. I do reload and have some good knowledge.

I thought he was talking about the neck. I saw the shield mark on the side, a makers mark? I checked S&B and Remington rounds to markings like that.
