I've noticed in BOTH my 11VT .223 and 10TR .308 that mid range listed charges are HOT!

Is this a normal thing for Savage bolt actions?

They shoot lights out, but I'm getting pierced primers and ejector flow with mid range loads in both of my rifles.

One thing I noticed is that the base to shoulder measurement is almost exactly the same on my factory loaded ammo, and virgin brass when compared to fired brass out of the Savage chambers.

Anyone else notice this in their Savage rifles when reloading?

Thoughts?
