Can you re-check the weight and bullet listed on the box?
I could not find an 80 grain bullet on the Federal web page for the .223 Remington.
You do have an ammunition challenge regardless of possible typos in the title.
A good approach is to determine whether your chamber is tight or short, or the ammunition is the issue.
First step is to try chambering the ammunition in a different rifle.
- If you get the same result, send your findings to Federal.
- If the unfired cartridge extracts easily from the second rifle, then send your findings to Savage.
Looking forward to seeing what you find!
