Here is a ? I bought a Savage model 16 light weight hunter in 6.5 Creedmore. Bought 3 boxes of shells 129 Hornady 130 Prime & 143 Hornady . Out to the range 25 yard dial in ,3rd shoot I noticed it was a little tough throwing the bolt back. Got dialed dead nuts at 25 5 shots, moved to 100 after every shot Now the bolt was getting harder & harder to throw & extract the cases !! I took the gun home put a dab of oil on the grooves & lugs , went back shot 1 round same story I noticed brass shavings in the chamber & some metal fragments on the bolt . Called Savage & sent the rifle back .. Anyone else run into this issue with this rifle ??
