I started a thread below about improving the trigger. The rifle made it to the gunsmith but not for the trigger ( I did ask him to also do a trigger job ) but for misfires. When it does fire the case has a bulge all the way around just above the rim.

Anyone care to take a guess as to what is wrong? I'll post an update when the gunsmith lets me know.

ETA: I got the rifle used and it looked LN con. The smith broke it down while I was there and said it looked like it has seen very little use, still had the factory grease.
