I agree, chamber issue not head space though.
To my thinking this is a pressure issue, Can someone explain to me how
headspace could be an issue with sticking cases, and blowing out primers?
Seriously, these both seem to me to be pressure.

My re-barreled Win. M-92 did the same thing with the primers. No case sticking, but primers backed out. Turns out the firing pin was too long. Gary
I have an older model 300wsm.(flat rear receiver) I had no problems with the Federal rounds, but Win and Rem stick coming out. Fed brass has a slightly shorter neck.
the Rem and Win once fired brass would not re-chamber without extreme drag. Trimmed 002 off the necks and they are fine now. Now I just shoot Federal or trim the necks back on other brands of brass.
still waiting for gun to come back haven't abandoned the help i have received here once i know more ill post
I've heard of these problems with Savages chambered for the WSM cartridges.
It's almost guaranteed the problem is the chamber. I've read that many early rifles (not just Savages) chambered for WSM's had very short freebore. So handloads can't fix that problem.
I really hope Savage makes things right for you... fast.
still waiting on repair or replacement does it normally take this long
When at the range, for safety's sake. Put a piece of scotch tape on the case head to make a no-go gauge. Bolt should not close on the 2nd piece of tape. You could also check the measurements of fired case and unfired, however you will need a micrometer and a v scale and a comparator.

I had a 116 replaced and it took more than awhile. I think it was about 6 months wait time. The replacement seems good to go, although the barrel isn't centered in the stock.
Have observed on a gun not long ago. The culprit that caused this problem was a spec of rust in chamber.
Ackley was right all along
Ran into this same issue a few years back. Any chance that ammo is Win. Supreme? In my case it turned out to be out of spec factory ammo (long necks)..

i tried many brands of ammo with no luck. i got a call from a lady in lakefield today and there sending me a new gun now should have it within a week she said. i got a different caliber now as the couldnt get me the 270wsm so the new gun will be a 7mm rem mag. svage has come through just took along time to get past gretch outdoors to savage canada. im told the gun will be dismantled so it can be shipped to the us for engineering to find out the issue
thank you to all on their input
