Totally understand. Will send you a pm.
Factory loaded hormady precision hunter ELDX 162 grains were way over pressure as well extreme extreme bolt lift

If the factory loaded Hornady loads were over pressure, it is time to have a gun smith check your rifle.
The Hornady 10th ed. lists 53.8-60.4 grains of H1000 at an overall length of 3.290". Use the Hornady data seating at 3.290" overall length. If this works then, start looking at your overall length. I believe you have made an error in the measurement of the length of the round to the lands.

Looks like Savage replaced the entire rifle as a manufacturing issue. Hoping he finds success when he gets it back on the range.
