Savage 220 mag feed failures.

[Bowjob]

Anyone else have this issue?

Magazine takes 2 20G sabot slugs plus 1 in the chamber of the shotgun. Shot your first shot, open the action the shell extracts go to chamber the next round but the shells are jammed inside the magazine.

My guess is the brass edges on the shells are logged together some how? Only thing I don't like about this gun is the plastic mags. Only work around I've found so far is to only put 1 shell in the clip.

with my 220 the advice I got was to 'work the action with authority', if I babied the action stoppages would occur, did fast and forcefully and the problems went away.

Fair enough, I don't think it's a issue with the action though, I think the shells actually seat together after the Recoil and seat incorrectly? Been doing a little research I'm not the only one with the issue apperantly.

I have two friends that have the 220 in twenty gauge and both their guns do this. One had the mag replaced with no fix. Has to be a design problem. One sold his and got a TC Impact ML for 275 bucks brand new. It’s more accurate out to 120 meters than his 220 was.

I use this advise on my 220 and no issues.....if I baby it then its a 50/50 chance it works correctly.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to your situation, but I have an old Lee Enfield 303, and I remember that I had to pay close attention when loading the magazine to make sure the cartridge I placed on top of the one already in there had its brass rim ahead of the rim of the other cartridge. If the rim was behind it, the rifle would jam when I tried to strip the next cartridge from the magazine. This could be the issue with your gun - maybe pay close attention the next time you load the magazine to see if this is the possible explanation?

Yes now that you mention it, I remember having a Mosin Nagant surplus rifle that was like that. The stripper clips had to be stacked a certain way with the casing rims or it would jam.

i could see that making a difference. It could cause a feed problem if the top shell in the mag has its base rim behind the bottom one, instead of in front of the bottom one.

Very reasonable explanations, will pay attention to this next time out
