So my savage 10 fcp has a problem with damaging brass and leaving some "chatter" marks in the projectile.

If i try and chamber a round from the magazine and go to fast the bullet will want to bind 3 out of 10 times and this is where i seem to be getting my damage. I just cant pinpoint the cause of this.

If i feed the rounds nice and slow they chamber just fine and only leave a very light witness on the projectile.

I can send the rifle back to savage and have them fix it under warranty... but thats probably going to be a 3-4week deal after shipping back and forth and the fix is complete.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a fix before i send off my rifle??
