[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1263424, member: 18849"] Savages have been known for action screws touching the bolt lugs after torqueing them. You didn't say if you have had the action out of the stock or have tightened the action screws...If you have mark the side of the bolt lug with a sharpie...You will see if it is touching the front action screw...On an empty chamber additional bolt resistance might not be felt because of the floating bolt head on the savage...But with a case chambered often you will feel a difference...Even the brass size itself will cause you to feel it with one piece and not another. The extra lift on the back of the case just might be the cause of the scratches on the bullets (might be)....Easy fix with a good file. Take off one thread at a time and re-torque until no more sharpie marks are left on the bolt head... Just a thought and maybe something to check.. Good luck, Randy [/QUOTE]
