The ring on the primer matches the bolt face. I cleaned the ink off to show it a little better. Otherwise the primer is smooth. I think it’s a rough chamber.

I bought it from a friend who started a build and changed directions. I asked him about it yesterday. He confirmed it was new from Remington. Remington might be the next email going out.In the first picture it looked like that ring was pressed in, much clearer here. First bolt face I’ve seen with that type of ring ground in to it. Interesting.

It’s a prefit. McGowen did the work and will be sending a shipping label to send it back.Did you or McGowen cut the chamber? You say you used go/no-go gauges so I assume you installed the barrel - It looks like the roughing reamer was the last tool in that hole, or the finish reamer was worn out- dull.
The picture isn’t great. There isn’t a crater around the firing pin hole and the edge of the primer is rounded. Not trying to argue, sirDifference of opinion but anytime a primer flattens to the point the rounded edge is no longer there or almost gone and the primer flows out around the firing pin are both signs of overpressure. I was not looking at the ring caused by the bolt face.
I had a 300 PRC when the only brass was Hornady. Second or third loading and primers would pop.Also, a somewhat tighter primer pocket vs one that is no so tight (looking at you Hornady shit brass) can cause primers to flatten more easily.
