Its hard to make out if you haven't seen it in person though. Thanks everyone for looking and giving ideas!! If I could find some 270 brass I would just try and see if its the cases or the plating. It just happens that I have a bunch of these from before I decided to reload.

I truly believe that your extractor claw should not be bent back by design. If so, it would be a first for me. I believe that it is either bent back from a previous incident or by design fault or weakness. If it were my rifle, I would grind or file off that bend and give it a whirl. Even if you remove it, you still have an extractor and your gun's safety aspect will not be compromised.
