Jep, I will be fine from now on....lesson learned....an other sad lesson..no more cheap or short routes.

You will always feel sad/ a little shameful when you look at that bolt face, but it is a good reminder to do things right, no shortcuts. The rifle should function fine. I have cratered two rifles, my varmint rifle in .223 (bad lot of Remington primers), and a 300 win mag that I tried to shoot a neck sized round from another 300 win mag and it didn't seal properly. Both rifles are still plenty accurate and functional, they just have ugly spots on the face.
