I have contacted savage on this issue, was told the following.
" Sir, we have had many firearms returned for this type of problem before. We have thoroughly gone through each firearm and have determined to be a Hornady issue. We have found no mechanical or spacing issues. You can feel free to send the firearm back to us pre-paid shipping, we will inspect for any defects and return the rifle to you "
At this time, for fun I decided to poke the bull a little bit and asked if this is in no way a rifle issue, why is it that the savages seem to be the only rifle with repeat issues with Hornady ammunition.
his reply " sir, all i can tell you is to contact Hornady , I do know they have been developing a new formula for the brass and hope to have it completed soon. "
So, in lew of this information I am going to get that empty casing out of the rifle one way or 13,000.00 others, and I am going to run some different kinds of factory ammo through.. Hoping they will go. Doese any one need a large surplus of factory Hornady .338 LM 283 grn ?? apparently I have no use for it anymore. **shrugs**
Isnt that kind of like buying a new car, filling it up at the local shell station and the vehical quits. When you phone the dealer, they simply say " Sorry sir, we forgot to tell you that car will only run on Esso fuel " ?
We will see what happens when i can source another brand of ammo.
Ill take care of her for you....
