    Bad primers or firing pin?

    Well guys I think I have the problem nailed down. After working on it over the weekend I figured out that it wasn't my ammo since I was having misfires with factory ammo as well as my reloads. So I have a friend of mine with a vice and we were able to wrap a towel around the bolt so not to...

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    Erud I checked the weight on them and they had powder in them. I actually checked that one early on since I have had the vice versa issue before and didn't move the funnel and then doubled on the powder charge, I noticed very quick since I had powder coming out of the brass. Yea I did check...

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    MtnCreek I have a question, around what should the firing pin be set since you said that the .059" is a little excessive? Since I'm wandering if I back it back a little bit if the spring will give it enough add acceleration to strike the primer right, what do you think?

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    MtnCreek, Thanks for the offer I may take you up on the firing pin spring, but I believe your right and I don't want to be just masking over another issue. I'm going to take it to a gun smith and see if I get a measurement on the amount of force going into the bullet. While he is fiddling with...

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    MtnCreek I un-cocked the bolt yesterday and I measured it and it measured 0.059 that came out of the bolt. So from what I can tell it seems like it isn't getting the acceleration that it needs to ignite the primers. Also could it be something along the lines of the inside of the bolt needing...

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    Davetooly I got a chance to us some factory ammo and didn't have any problems out of it but I only had a few rounds left at the range the day we were shooting (which was this last time in the cold), and it shot just fine but I think I only had like 4 or 5 rounds and it was 180 gr Winchester...

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    The more I have been digging into this the more that it points to the firing pin due to either it isn't accelerating fast enough to hit the primer or something is bogging it down. I got to looking at a few other places and they were saying that the colder weather will cause more misfires than...

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    MtnCreek the rifle that I'm using is a Savage Model 10, it is a bolt gun that gets cleaned after each trip to the range. I'll let you know when we pull the bullets and deprime the bad rounds. As for it being Large Pistol Primer no I made sure that the box was large rifle primers, because that...

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    Davetooley to seat the primers I was using the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme, as for the over sized cartridges we are doing a full case sizing and trim on all the brass that were over the Max Case Length.

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    They were Large Rifle Winchester getting around a 1 in 5 to 1 in 7 some where around there. The last time there were 10 like that and I don't think I shot 50 rounds.

    Bad primers or firing pin?

    I just had a question about some issues that I have been having with some ammo I reloaded. Just as a disclaimer the person that was teaching me how to reload has had about 10 years behind him and he was reloading with me on this ammo, so I'm not completely new to reloading. I am having some...

    Savage arms....Ill never own another savage!

    yotekiller48 I have a Savage Arms Model 10, and I understand how it is talking to the Customer Service individuals. After I sent mine back 3 different times for the bolt locking up and would only rotate, and it failed a function fire and accuracy test. What I ended up doing once it was all...

    I am calling for a Christmas Truce on the Savage-Remington Front lines...

    So just a quick question then. Since Savages are butt ugly, and I love my Savage does that make me an ass guy? ha ha. I Agree with the original post. The thing for me I don't see much difference in either one of them since most of us don't keep the original stocks on these guns anyways. Most...

    Accuracy International AICS for a Savage

    Ok, well thanks for letting me know that dtibbals. I guess they don't understand the thought you tell someone a date that they should stick by it. Oh well thanks for the help guys.

    Templar Tactical Firearms Muzzle Brake

    Funny Runamuk lol. But no I didn't talk to you at all Curtis the only person that I have dealt with thus far has been Cody. He didn't give me that option. I ask why my break hadn't reached me yet since it has been over 1.5 months on a part that was suppose to be in stock. He told me that...
