[QUOTE="atl5029, post: 1238528, member: 84273"] During load development for my Savage 260 AI, I pushed it a bit too hard and had a round that was way too over pressure...it blew out the primer and the hot gasses gas cut my bolt face and decimated my ejector spring. I consider myself lucky on that front and won't be trying that again. I bought a new bolt head, ejector, ejector spring, and extractor, and had my gunsmith install it and reheadspace the barrel as well as look the gun over for any other damage I may have missed. During round two of load development, I have been getting ejector swipes on my brass with charges that showed little if any pressure signs during round one. Can this be caused simply by my new ejector - either the spring being new and quite stiff, or the ejector sticking out of the hole a little too much, or the ejector bottoming out when chambering a round? Anyone else see this before? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
