Hi All,
This is my first post here, sorry for the long post, wanting to give full background on situation. I’m looking for some advice on how to fix my Savage 11 now chambered in 6.5 CM. It is not ejecting spent casings from the receiver and is just dropping them in the receiver which I have to pluck out. I use the rifle for PRS and this has become a serious issue where I can rarely finish a stage and get all rounds off in time.
Background on the rifle: bought as a savage hog hunter chambered in .308, used to eject and function perfectly. recently put a Shilen select match barrel on it chambered in 6.5CM to be better suited for PRS, rifle sits in a KRG bravo chassis. During first match with 6.5 barrel on it ejection was a problem so I upgraded the ejection plunger and extractor (kit with larger ball bearing and stiffer springs as well) and the problem is almost worse. Currently shooting Hornady factory loads.
It seems that the casings are getting caught on the bolt rails and it’s pulling them off of the extractor and then just dropping in the receiver. Has anyone found a solution for this?
