Agreed the smith doesn't know what he's looking at. If the barrel is screwed in any further then your going to have headspace issues. I had a similar problem on my 17HH it would feed factory rounds or reloads with a tipped bullet fine but load a HP and it would jam every time. I put a small piece of stick on felt toward the front of the magazine follower that raised the front of the round slightly, no more problems even with a full mag. Might be worth a try on it. Savage has good customer service they will make it right.
