Savage feeding problems.?
Hello out there. I just purchased a new Savage 12BTCSS in .204Ruger. It shoots all the factory ammo i've put through it very well. My only problem with it is that the Winchester Super-X 34gr. JHP will not feed.?.Wich is really anoying seeing as how it is one of the more accuarte rounds I have tried thus far. My question is does anyone else have any issue with this round or firearm? Oh one more thing I bought some A-Zoom snap caps for it and the bolt would not full lock down on them.? The bolt would slide all the way in but on closing the handle it would bind up. Any and all thoughts are apreciated and welcome.
Thanks
Anthony


Good shooting to all and to all a good shot.

Snap cap is not formed right for the 204 or is to long and hitting the lands (SP). Winchesters should feed aswell as the others unless the bullets are catching at he front. Try coloring a couple of shells and feeding them through the gun to see whatis binding.
