Okay, so I've never seen anything like this. Took my son target shooting today, he has a 40ish year old Savage 110. When shooting a Remington factory shell the bolt opens like it should, when shooting the Winchester factory rounds you have to pull up a lot harder than you should on the bolt, once up it freely comes back like it should.
You can take the empty brass and it falls in and out of the hole easily, it's something worth the bolt itself for some reason. I can not find a single thing different with the 2 different casings. Shot about 10 rounds of each flavor and each one extracted the same way. The unfortunate thing of the whole deal is the Winchester rounds are shooting awesome at 200 yards and was thinking of having him use those, but the bolt being tough to lift up is definitely a deterrent at this point.
What do you think could be causing this?
I've looked over ever round multiple times and they are all regular .243 shells.
