All of my Savage rifles are set up for bench shooting. Every one of them has the ejector spring and rod removed. The extractor holds the case on the bolt head so it can be picked off. Works slick and no damage or chasing brass.
Also saves problems with short cases like the .221 Fireball not feeding or extracting properly. You also get a chance to inspect each case for problems before it hits the ground and could get damaged.
