    Bottom line I have a friend with a Savage. Getting primer flow with Lapua SRP brass. Nothing else for pressure signs and what not

    My go to is LRI but don’t think they work on savages. I know you guys are on other forums and could point me in the right direction for this

    Who would bush a savage bolt?
     
    Why not just buy a new bolt head? Unless it's cheaper to bush it?
    Who makes them? PTG I see but figured having this one bushed would ensure I wouldn’t run into any fitment issues

    This is the worst one I had out of 100. Most were 1/2 this bad. I have a bench source annealer and noticed a decent amount of wobble in some cases. Was noticed at lower charges as well and seems to be a common issue like the AI rifles have.

    This is 43.0 grains of H4350 and 143 ELDX. Zero pressure signs besides the cratering that I can tell. Good bolt lift, no ejector marks etc

    CCI 450 small rifle magnum primer
    Lapua SRP brass
    H4350 43 grains
