Thank you Butlersranger for schooling me on the differences of a rimmed cartridge vs. a rimless. I was loving the way it was shooting, but hating what I was seeing after ejecting the brass. I did notice the bolt rib to reciever contact you mentioned, so you're probably right about what the "funsmith" did to the bolt. BTW: That's a great picture you provided. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
I did check Ebay after your post and found plenty of Krag bolts on the market. Something to consider.
I prefer neck sizing only when loading for my bolt guns, and the lee dies I have for my 223 include a neck size only die, so I am hoping the Krag set will also include one. If not, I'll do as you suggest.

Thanks again for sharing your valuable experience.
