Shot my new to me model 40 on Sunday and from the get go there are a few issues. Mainly it does not want to extract. I knew there were issues with this with the original ones but this was supposed to be a later model that was corrected, it wasn't.Sixteen rounds fourteen failures the last being a case head seperation(older brass) probably my own fault. I need to contact Savage to see about new extractors for this one.
Anyway, shooting a 52gr. sierra bthp with 11.3 gr. of lil gun I had bullets touching at 100 so my quest for an accurate 22 hornet after three off brand disappointments is over, and I will keep this one and do some more load work with a 45 gr. bullet(made for the hornet) and post up my results.
On a side note does anyone know of a case extractor for the 22 Hornet, I did a web search and can't find one anywhere. Any being made or for sale?
