Savage Elite Precision 6.5 Creedmoor.
I'm having feeding problems where the loaded cartridge jumps up, jams against the bolt face upper rim and won't go into battery. When it's stuck I release bolt pressure (or pull slightly back) then the round would fall back down into the bolt face then I can continue on. Extremely annoying and need input on what could be causing this before I contact Savage.
-Round count is currently at 81.
-Happens on all ammo, factory and handloads.
-Using 3 MDT metal magazines (ZERO feed issues when I use them in my other MDT HS3 bolt action).
-Mag could be empty or full and still have feeding issues.
-Doesn't matter if I feed it fast or slow either.
Top picture: Cartridge stuck against upper portion of bolt face outer rim.
Bottom picture: Forward pressure released, cartridge drops into chamber so I can feed into battery.
