I’ve got a 4 year old Savage model 11VT. Early on it was no problem but last year or so I’m getting a lot of FTF and it appears to be really light primer strikes. The end of the firing pin looks good and it looks like it is sticking out plenty far enough to hit deep enough.
The ammo I’m using is Hornady 75g bthp 8026. No idea if that is loaded with really hard primers or not but it works in my buddy’s Savage. His will fire the rounds that FTF in my gun. I’m supposed to be shooting at a match this Saturday. Not sure what to do.
I was thinking about pulling the bolt apart but I’ve never had one apart. I did find out there is a detent ball under the extractor. Fortunately I have more the right size at work!
Suggestions???
Thanks, Matt
