You adamantly a couple times stated "one last time" which was not just dismissed by me, the one with the question, looking for an answer. Your first response was a short one sentence cause and effect back in post #12 w/o any real explanation. Yet the very last sentence in my very first post was that I had already purchased a new pin and springs which should have indicated that I already suspected this as a cause and agreed with you even though I did not understand the reason why at the time.. Once again exactly why I came to this forum asking guidance.
At the same I had also previously seen the picture posted in #8 and had conversations with Dave about firing pins long before this. Which I where I learned of the known problem with Savage bolt heads and firing pin holes being sloppy and why many have them bushed. To help eliminate the cratering around the pin dimple.
Post #17 I asked the question once again looking for clarity. Maybe I posed the question the wrong way. As here we are now at post #76 and not a single member can explain why these cases have behaved the way they did. Still not one here can believe that I say I measured these cases before firing and after failing to fire and that they have all gotten shorter after failing. Most are saying or implying these cases were too short to begin with when I know for a fact they were not. But once again that seems to be a complete separate issue and not related to the FTF issue. But still at this point I was questioning the firing pin and springs.
So then in post #47 I directly asked you to explain your response which you directly responded to in past #61 to which I directly responded to in post #63 and Graciously thanked you for the lengthy explanation. Also tried to express that at this time I have to make due as I do not have the time to order and wait for new parts as they would never arrive before we start out league. Then completely flabbergasted by the response in post #64 which implied I completely dismissed your advice. Thanks Jim!
Anyways I am able to proceed the way it is and get started with the league. I was able to find a load that this bullet seems to like and is shooting much tighter than the 69gr SMK I shot last year. This week I will be ordering new pin parts.
Lastly to your post at #70. Fliers are also a sign of an inconsistent shooter. Me! And I admit that fact. I have a lot of inconsistencies I'm working on!
