I know there is nothing new under the Sun, but I had a problem with both my 110 Savage actions (300 WM) binding the rounds while trying to chamber. The case head would hop above the bolt face coming off the magazine and thus not feed into the chamber.
Remedy was quite simple. Punch out the ejector retaining pin, pull the ejector out, and run the ejector over a flat file to create a beveled angled towards the firing pin hole. I just eyeballed the slight angle so no definite degree known.
Both actions in these newer model Savages now work great after this procedure. I'm not happy with Savage representatives denying this problem with their actions exists. They just claim it's a magazine issue. There are so many people complaining about this in forums and on YouTube it's impossible for Savage not to know.
If Savage would bevel the ejectors to start they would save a lot of time & money for both sides.
