I'm still having problems with chambering rounds. What I seem to have it "zeroed" down to is the cartridge begins to enter the chamber at an angle....(now, as a side note here on these M-25's in .17-Hornet's there is a small tube that protrudes from the chamber where the .17 Hornet cartridge feeds into)....into this previously described tube. However, what I see is that the cartridge "sticks" or "jams" in this tube. When I pull the bolt back it allows the cartridge to move or drop (gravity is now your friend) and then a re-push on the bolt will get the cartridge into the chamber.
So, what I think is these tubes or chambering tubes....or whatever they are called, are of a very tight tolerance to the brass. So, I think when they get a little dirty the chambering issue is just going to happen.
My guess.....and it's just a guess....is that Savage is polishing out these tubes so that the brass can enter them, even if there is some normal powder "dirt" in the tube.
But....that's my two cents on it.
