[QUOTE="CB11WYO, post: 1001844, member: 57339"] If I may also... (I'm no pro by any means lol) ... and somebody tell me if I've screwed up... This was my cure for the same problem in a Savage Model 12 - 6x47 Lapua (Wolf primers) and a Savage Model 16 - 22-250 (CCI primers). Seems that Savage may be a common theme also... I disassembled the bolt, cleaned and greased/lubed the firing pin etc... then I drilled the hole in the bolt-face to one "letter" sized drill bit larger than original. For both these rifles it cured it. I was getting misfires at least once in every 10 rounds with both rifles. The model 16 now has +100 rounds since modification without a single misfire and the Model 12 has +50 rounds, no misfires. My .02 :D Not saying it's NOT a primer issue also... [/QUOTE]
