Help with my Savage 110

[whirlwindjml]

Is this factory ammo your using? Have you used different ammo or 1 kind?

Untrimmed brass will stick in the chamber. Also brass that's been neck sized only, a few times with no full length sizing. And occasionally factory ammo has it's problems.

A few places to look.....

if none of those are the issue.....I would drill and tap the spent case in the primer pocket then put a long bolt or machine skrew in it. Coat it with a little jb bore past and give it a little polishing.

I will do this tonight....

But I should mention..... This "stuck" empty case, only happens after firing the round. An unfired cartridge will load and unload with ease.


.......

I think you will find that the area above the belt is where a lot of expansion occurs in the fired case, if the primary extraction work pieces are not doing their job then extraction can become very difficult, For a factory Savage I don't see this being a problem as it would be a major overlook.

Sounds almost like too much pressure, causing case belly to swell a bit too much! Polishing chamber may help. Also, try a bit more headspace.

Sounds like a rough chamber to me, Savage will probably hone/polish the chamber and send it back to you. When you are firing, the case expands into the rough chamber causing it to stick a bit.

After tinkering with the gun more, I am realizing that the long bolt tends to bind up in different places. Maybe some lube would help... Not sure what to do.

Polish chamber and throat. Make sure it is lightly lubed.

Loosen the front action screw just a touch and see if the bolt closes slightly easier

Polish chamber and throat. Make sure it is lightly lubed.

Will try both those.

Is it factory ammo your shooting?

For now, yes. I reload, but still waiting on my barn to be built, where I can take my reloading gear out of storage and set up my reloading room.

Had a similar problem. Polish your rifles chamber. That's what cured my 110's situation.

I had the exact same problem with a m77 ruger in 7rem... a bur at the rear of the chamber just in front of the belt was causing extraction fits... a bit of fine wet or dry did that one wonders...
