I just became a new owner of a Savage Axis in .243. I bought a box of Monarch 100grn. .243 at Wally World an come to find out it is VERY hard to chamber and eject. So I looked around an found some Remington .243 100 gr. Core Lokt that I had for my 110 that I had to sell a few yrs ago. The Remington ammo chambers an ejects smooth as ice. Just wanted to see if other folks have found the same thing. I'll be taking it shooting for the first time tomorrow.
