Just signed up. I am a hunter and have recently been shooting more. I have recently started putting together my own rifles. I found this site when I was looking for a cure for a light primer strike on a savage axis. I bought a 22-250 and shot it some, then changed the barrel to 22 creedmoor. Never had any misfires as a 22-250, and I am using 22-250 brass to fire form creedmoor. I think the misfires are frome the difference in chambers but have ordered 22 creedmoor brass and should find out when the rain stops.

Welcome to the group. I had light strike problems with my Axis (now a 450 Bushmaster) and solved it by replacing the springs.

Gacop, are you talking about the firing pin spring? I finally got some head stamped brass and need to load some to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, I will definitely start there. Thanks.
