Grimstod & Desh are actually the same person. Grimstod is Desh’s forum handle. He was here in like 2018 & only posted a few times as that name. Desh Industries is his website. He started after getting his Savage Axis & loving it. Phil, the video I linked in post #19. That is Grimstod/Desh. His name is Ben.Originally Posted by PhilC
FWIW, I've had several guns that cratered primers, pistols and rifles. Unless I went over max loads they never pierced the primers. No, never had them bushed either.

BINGO!!Mid range loads will ALWAYS get the job done.
Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.
No, not going to pierce primers. But it’s unsightly. People don’t like it. And it doesn’t speak to the aspect of Precision. Especially when it’s easily remedied. I find it interesting that people call other Actions, that don’t exhibit this quirks to be better. But when it’s recommended to remedythese small things, some people will call it a waste of time, or it doesn’t matter.
In other words it’s like saying: “Savages are Cheap because they do such & such.” But then also say, “Don’t waste your time fixing such & such on Savages because they are Cheap!”
I've had the problem on expensive guns so being 'cheap' is not a factor.
The other guy on AccurateShooter is Carlsbad and his reviews are top tier. That's what I get going from memory after a week at the lake.
Ahh; week at the lake is worth in in my book! I wouldn’t care what I forgot for sake of a good trip!The other guy on AccurateShooter is Carlsbad and his reviews are top tier. That's what I get going from memory after a week at the lake.
My axis was blanking primers. Sent it back to savage and they replaced the bolt head and firing pin. When it didn't blank the primer it left a cratered primer. Then it started the lite primer strikes after getting it back. Before I sent it in I had to switch to mag cci sr primers so they would not pop. The new bolt head craters a little but have not had one pop yet.
I have had Gretan do several bolts.
Personally, I would never send a rifle back to Savage for something like that. (But then I would never send my rifles, or pistols for that matter, back for anything.) These problems which aren’t really problem according to Savage.
All I know is having the bolt head bushed or using a PTG bolt head, and setting the firing pin striker for maximum pin fall, while having the minimum pin protrusion (.035”), will cure cratering & light primer strikes.
My grandson wanted 223 to play with so I bought a Ruger American. The problem? I was unable to chamber my Go gauge or a new stick of brass. As it turned out it's extractor was too long to jump the rim of a case but after "modifying" it a bit .....
Why didn't I send back to Ruger? I figured if Ruger didn't build it right the first time why would I expect them to fix it right a second time.
Each morning eat a live green toad, it will be the worst thing you'll have face all day.
