[QUOTE="tmoxley, post: 2866848, member: 107288"] One other issue I had with the rifle is that last month while shooting the IMI ammo the rifle jammed with the bolt being stuck halfway into the buffer tube. I disassembled the rifle and discovered that the firing pin retaining pin was partially out of the bolt and the head of the pin had become wedged between the bolt and the upper reciever wall. There was only superficial damage to the bolt and the reciever wall. I have since replaced the pin. I'm assuming that this supports the theory that the IMI ammo is causing overpressure. I searched multiple and found no other reports of this occurring to a Savage MSR 10 so I'm assuming the issue is not with the gun itself. The only reason I have continued to use this ammo is due to the fact it groups tightly and I have several hundred rounds of it left. Based upon the responses here I will stop using it and switch to the FGMM. Thanks to everyone who responded! Your extensive knowledge and willingness to help is always appreciated! [/QUOTE]
