[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 640087, member: 24624"] Have you called Savage? What did they say? If the bolt works fine on an empty chamber, then something is binding against your cartridge when attempting to close the bolt. (Or conversely, the cartridge is causing binding somewhere.) Coat the cartridge in Sharpie or Dykem (layout blue). Chamber the cartridge and work the bolt a few times so that you can identify where the Dykem is scraped away and where the pressure point(s) is/are. If you already did so, what did it reveal? -- richard [/QUOTE]
