[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1601784, member: 18849"] Hibbing By your post it is pretty clear that your 244 (6mm Rem) cases are real short at the shoulder. And your jammed bullets are not holding the case back. My guess your necks would end up real short if it did fire. Even though you jam the bullets the ejector and extractor (before it jumps over) are pushing the bullet farther into the lands. You could make up a longer dummy round until it jams hard enough to just get the bolt closed. Of coarse you would have to pull all your others out but most importantly "work up" to safe pressure. If they do fire in the condition they are now they will really stretch the brass and start the thinning where subsequent loads will separate also. Did you get any to form? If so make some comparison measurements to see if it is even possible to use that brass in your chamber. Also by removing your ejector plunger you could use the COW method if you manually insert the case under the extractor. Wish you were closer I might be able to help you get something work. I pretty much do all Savage stuff for myself, kids & grandkids. Your gunsmith will get you fixed up. Keep me posted [/QUOTE]
