Sorry for the long story, but here is the situation-
So last summer I was lucky enough to obtain a CG63 in 6.5x55 swedish. The receiver is marked 1916, and as I'm sure you all know is an M96action. I put a little over a hundred rounds through it with no issue. I worked up to 44gr of Accurate 4350 under a Hornady 140gr SST's. I put the gun away for a while, until a friend invited me to go shooting with him. I quickly whipped up 20 rounds with a different bullet (a run-of-the mill speer 140gr) with the same load (44gr), which was admittedly stupid, but I was in a rush and wasn't thinking. I got to the range and shot about 7 off. The gun was acting funny, there was a lot of soot on the cases. I didn't think to examine the primers until the bolt jammed. I checked the primers after and they were completely flattened, and 2 were blown out of the primer pocket hole. I stopped after that point. A week or so later I made a load with the same bullet but with the starting load (39 or 40 grains). I shot one off and the primer was completely flattened and cratered. I examined the bore, and it was covered in copper. Thinking this might be the issue I filled the barrel with Hoppes copper Remover and let it sit overnight. I drained it the next morning and a bunch of **** came out. There was still streaking on the lands, but it was much better after. I put together another starting load with a 160gr bullet under 35 grains of Accurate 4350. I shot one off and the primer blew out the back. If anything, things were worse. My question is this-is it possible that I stretched the receiver and caused a headspacing issue? Is there something else I'm not seeing here?
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
