I know what you are going through. I bought a new to me model 40 single shot around the first of the year,took it to the range and it would not extract,so I brought it to Savage and they replaced extractors.I finally got it to the range 2 weeks ago with the same results, 9 out of 10 cases stuck in the chamber, these were all loaded to 1.720 oal(sierra 45gr.) book spec.
Well shame on me I should have checked seating debth with the Sinclair tool, because when I did I found that it was 1.939 to the lands or 0.219 longer than the specs which I felt was too much. I loaded 50 rounds at 1.900 and went back this past Sunday and 41 of 50 extracted with no problems and one had a case head separation(old brass).
Accuracy not up to par for a Savage so now I am about to try different loads of LilGun at 7.7-8.6 five of each with oal of 1.880. Let you know how it works out.
