Here's the deal with mine: I bought the top of the line savage rifle, it's got the super nice would stock with the thumb hole, and it's got the super nice jeweled bolt group, along with the 22" longer barrel. I've put a Leupold scope on it. I've had zero issues with the Hornady ammo and rifle, but I've heard that other people have had issues with the ammo/rifles.
I contacted Hornady via email to voice my concerns and they replied and said it was a rifle issue, not an ammo issue. They told me to test fire the ammo I had (I gave the batch numbers because I read that the batch number I had was supposedly bad ammo) and I did test fire and I had no problems.
So I really think it's best to spend the money on a higher end savage. For whatever reason, the high end savages don't have any issues where as the lower end savages, well, they "might" have an issue with the Hornady ammo.
