Sounds like an engineering fault in the blue prints.
The 78 replaced the 788 which was scaled for differing cartridge families.
Also thier Models 600/660 were also offered in small cartridge rifles based on the 222 family and one never heard feeding ejecting complaints from owners. Same for the 788.
Remington rushed out the more mainstream 78 because the cheaper to sell 788 was becoming a go-to basis of precision and bench rest actions.
A niche that was supposed to be filled by the more costly Model 40-X series.

300 Savage and 250 Savage are ones I'll probably keep till the end.

There a good story in a wilderness survival book regards northern BC, a dead horse along a wilderness road, and a rural rancher and two others to help move if off the trail as at a request by local natives.
Three grizzlies, these two rifles, three people in close proximitry.
i ll keep as well my 300 savage take down she saved my bacon with black bears and as well providing food when stuck in a middle of nowhere with a whole staffed team in an hunting camp and i was the only one with a rifle ... if i need or can keep one only. but we re not there yet.

well I have many to choose from picking one is difficult
I would have to go with 25-06 for most of my hunting. But then if its moose I'm hunting I switch to 300WM

I'd have to say my favorite would be the one I'm using on the day you asked. My list of never sells is pretty inclusive

Well and clearly defined. My sentiments exactly.
