I’m getting a Savage 110 ,cal.243, and I was told that you have to ram rod the casing out after firing the gun. What are some of the causes of this type of malfunction? Any tips on where to start would be a great help.
OK, the first thing to do is to make a quick examination of the gun, does it have an extractor, is it in the correct position (not rusted in the open or outward position), is there rust in the chamber? Those are the first quick things you can look for. After that a good chamber polish even if the chamber is not rusty is not a bad idea. Fit the extractor so it holds on tight to the shell and has the correct angles. See what you got first then go from there. You may want to find out if the loads are factory or HOT hand loads. Ken

Thanks for the quick response, I’ll buff the chamber first, and hope that takes care of this problem. Thanks again, and MAN, what great learning tools the AGI DVD’s are!
