I shoot 3 savages -- 308, 270 wsm and 325 wsm.. I was working up loads from my 270 wsm and decided to clean after a couple of days at the range to get it ready to go back. Fired my first shot the next time at the range and the bolt would not throw the shell. Studied this for awhile, shot again and same thing. Bolt pulls back but at the end won't flip the spent casing out the side. I have taken the bolt out a hundred times and was just curious if I may have put it back in somehow differently-- any suggestions? The local gunsmith charges $80 just to look at anything ---- he is very good, but I sure would like to save the money.. I am thinking of putting my other bolt from the 325 in there tomorrow and see if that makes a difference. To me, it appears there is a spring loaded lever attached to the magazine that is responsible for flipping the shell, but I am not positive..

Thanks for any advice.
