I have a Bushmaster upper and lower. My feedramp leaves two light scratches on the bullet  when it goes into the chamber. Could this hurt the barrel when the bullet goes through? Has anyone else have this problem?

It's normal. It will not hurt the barrel.

It's normal.  My ARs do that too.

The barrel steel or chrome lining is much harder than the bullet's jacket so you won't hurt the barrel.



Those are handgun bullets that have been fired through a barrel.  Notice the marks the rifling left on the jacket (the mostly vertical "stripes").
