[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2002097, member: 115819"] Yeah, it's buried in that article but "normal" firing pins and holes can have the tendency to pierce, misalign, underfire, or otherwise mutilate small primers. Having a savage it's doubly bad, I know I've probably already got a badly timed, overcocked pin that is larger than it needs to be in a hole that's still too large for it. That's on top of a bolt face that's slightly dished, meaning full-bore loads ruin cases after 2 firings. It's still a really useable and accurate gun if I live within its limitations, that's just the quirks you get with a savage. [/QUOTE]
