so ive had this savage 110e 30-06 rifle in my closet for a couple months now and i got it from a guy in this forum. i took it out for the first time today with some cheap russian rounds from aloha surplus. they are Barnaul Ammunition brand, "Hunting Rifle Ammunition" steel cased FMJ. i thought for $11.00 a box, i cant go wrong; this is where i hope i am wrong.
so the bolt on the rifle is great without any of the rounds chambered but when i load one up, its a bit stiff loading the round and difficult to open the action up; with or without firing. about half od the empty cartridges got stuck in the chamber and i had to use my cleaning rod to tap it out. none were difficult to tap or of the chamber with the rod, it just needed a little touch.
could this just be a problem with the ammo or am i looking at a serious issue with the rifle?
