Hello, this is my first post and first savage build. Tried searching the net and this forum but had no luck.

I recently bought a savage 11 in 223, I am converting it into a .260.

New barrel,stock,ptg bolt body,and ptg bolt head. I installed everything, head spaced the barrel etc.... everything went smoothly. That is until I went to chamber a empty case (already sized). The extractor has a terrible time jumping over the rim of the cartridge, have to use a lot of force. And when it does finally jump over and I eject the case the rim of the case is damaged and deformed showing deep marks from the extractor.

Somthing is is clearley wrong but I dont know where to look. It's a brand new extractor and a brand new PTG bolt head.
I am thinking the ball detent hole is drilled in the wrong location or something causing to much pressure to cam out of the way.


Any ideas??? Any help is appreciated.
