12FV: copper shavings, tight bolt, marks on brass
Not trying to be a whiner, but I’m seeing some issues with my 12FV.
Using Lapua brass and handloads, I’m getting a fair amount of copper shavings, tight bolt, and marks on brass. Keep in mind, these are second fire brass FL resized and all trimmed to spec. COAL is 0.020” from th lands.
Do I:
a) try and run some flitz in the chamber to polish the bore
b) take it a smith
c) call Savage?
keep in mind, I’ve had some rounds that won’t even close the bolt and these are fully resized, unfired reloads.
Thoughts?

Every single one, including factory rounds has the J scratch. I can’t see a burr, but there has to be one.
