I agree its a bad on Savage design on this paticular rifle,....and its irritating as it gets to me.
I have had several rounds have the lead bullet get pushed into the brass completely after the tip of the round got caught on the barrel and I pushed the bolt forward. This is extremely dangerous if fired!! (Meaning the bullet is completely inside the brass sitting freely in the powder with nothing covering the opening of the brass.)
They need to fix it. Even my new mags did the same thing. I had to adjust the actual slide the mag slips onto.
That's BS in my humble opinion.
i've had the same problem with the bullets being pushed into the case. i just figured that it's rimfire and the cases probably are less rigid than that of its centerfire counterparts. i had wanted this gun for 3 mos. prior to the purchase and the first time i shot it i was sorely disappointed. i'm gonna try and sell it, it's not worth having a rifle i can't rely on. i'd rather rely on my .22 or a sling shot.
