Savage 110 Question
Was hoping that someone here shoots a Savage 110 and could answer a couple of questions for me. Ok here goes:
1. I have just reloaded some Sierra Spitzer boat tail bullets and have noticed that when I cycle the cartridge into the chamber the soft lead bullet nose is getting nicked/scared in the process. Is this normal?? Do you think it will affect the bullets accuracy?
2. Also ever since I purchased the rifle (a couple of year agao) I notice that when closing the bolt on the rifle that there is quite a bit of resistance. In other words Its hard to close the damn thing. Is this normal for a new rifle/Savage??
Any help would be apprecited,
