[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1213386, member: 8873"] Apparently with this load in that rifle it does matter. Maybe not in accuracy but in pressure. The difference in case volume between the Rem & Winchester brass may be enough to cause higher pressure or the Rem brass is softer and is showing the signs of over pressure. If you are only getting a stiff bolt lift with the Rem brass (along with the ejector marks) then I would say drop the load down a notch or only use the Win brass. If you are getting a stiff bolt on all the brass then I would ask if all loads (especially factory) did this or if only this load. If they all did it then I would probably call Savage and get the rifle looked at for a possible chamber issue. If it only happens with certain loads or certain brass then I would say you are over max pressure. Also, have you checked brass length? May need trimmed. Are you neck sizing or full length? How many times has the brass been fired? There are a lot of things that could be going on here, these are just a few possibilities. [/QUOTE]
