Or it is still a little too new and needs more rounds through it.
I get a few dents from my charging handle as the brass is ejected. You will also dent the top cartridge if you load the magazine with the bolt closed.
I just checked 5 random cases from my last outing I too have minor scratches and light gouges at the cartridge base
The gouges have to be from the extractor, the scratches, not sure.
For completeness my mini is a regular old ranch rifle had 1k rounds before it went to Gundoc for TLC and about 1k since.
