The newer ones have a piece that goes into the spring.

Yes, the new style has a follower(tail) to prevent over compressing the spring and keep it straight instead of compressed and twisted like the one on the right.

It has the same P/N as before and available directly from Savage. I suggest installing a new spring with the ejector.

You probably have the old style, the one on the right in the picture I posted. I would think after drilling it out you would have found the follower if it were the new style.

If you load to the max plus 25% you'll want the new style. If your a conservative reloader then use the new style. :p

BTW, install a new spring. If the old one is semi wreaked either ejector won't work well.

Don't know which cartridge you're shooting. On my Stevens 110 in 6.5X47L originally chambered in .270 I replaced the original spring with a .223 spring. (different part# and tension) The cases no longer eject to the next county but gently "plop" about 2 inches from the action. Just a thought.
