Excuse me, is the swelling on the cartridge case the same size as the cut on the edge of the bolt for passage through the groove normal or abnormal?

Thank you for your guidance. Yes, I tried several different cartridges; they all have some bulging, but one is very slight and another is more pronounced.
Excuse me — could this bulging be because its diameter exactly matches the notch on the bolt head that is meant to pass through the extractor/ejector groove? And since the rear of the cartridge is hollow, might the bolt’s design prevent that area from seating properly?

Anyone else here on the forum have a Browning A5 New Model to compare the head or a fired ejected shell to ? 12ga I am assuming by the looks of the size.

If no one does Hessam, you could go over to your posting on Shotgun World and ask if someone there has a fired ejected shell to compare against.

IMO it should not be that pronounced. The shells pictured are B&P which are excellent quality!
If there are no other issues with the gun, I personally would not fret and just use it.
