Anyone shooting this ammo? I got some from Palmeto Armory and it will not fire in my Savage. Anyone else having problems with this ammo? They will not let me return it so I'm stuck with 2000 rounds of this stuff.
Thanks

What do you mean? Won't go bang or won't group?

It will not fire only 1 out of 8 rounds fired and I chambered  them all twice. I'm going to check my firing pin protrusion but all other ammo fires in this rifle.

Can you provide pics of the primers of rounds that were struck?

How long have you had this rifle?
What do you normally shoot out of it?

Any trigger work on the Savage?

I have some of the 2014 Headstamped that has been awesome in my M1A.... right around 1 MOA, no problems at all.

I just ordered more and it is 2011 headstamp.... which is yours ?

I'd bet you, your Savage has a "Min. Spec" .308 chamber.... and the XM 118 is sized for a 7.62x51 chamber...which is slightly longer headspaced.

Not the first time I have seen it happen... friends Savage wouldn't chamber South African surplus 7.62x51 either.
