hard extraction

If I asked this question before, my apologies.
I have a 112V in 22-250.Trying to open the bolt after firing any factory round is very difficult. I immediatly assumed I had a headspace problem. I used a RCBS precision mik and measured a Clymer chamber go guage which as I understand it is made to SAMMI min for that caliber. THen i measured a fired case with the same guage. The case is only a few thousands longer so its well within the tolerance.

I thought I had read somewhere a long time ago that there was a problem with the camming geometry in opening the bolt with this action. I called Savage but they wont even speak about the orphans that were built before the restructuring. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I was tempted to load some very light loads to see if the problem persisted.

many thanks,
John

does it do this everytime?when you say any factory round,which factory rounds?i have seen some you almost have to take a rubber mallet to pull the bolt back!but it was in larger calibers.

Yes,it happens everytime. I have tried winchester ,remington, federal, hornady etc. for what its worth they all group around 1.25" at 100 yards off my rest and bags. I check the fired cases with a case guage and all are within the acceptable limits for length ,headspace etc.

Many thanks,

I know this sounds crazy but make sure the barrel nut is tight. Is it scarring the case any?

Try taking your bolt apart and seeing if there might be a little peice of primer inside there.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. THe bolt cycles fine on an empty chamber and shows no problem if i cycle it on a fired case. it only occurs after firing a round.

Thank you:)

i would take it to a gun smith,before you fire it again.Take a few fired cases with you when you go.
