The Issue(s) With Extraction and Ejection With Savage Rifles?

I am also led to believe that my issue with the 22-250 is for some reason more common to that chambering.

It is.

Pretty important for a hunting rifle to be able to reliably feed, extract and eject.
Sure is and mine do.

OTOH, my 12FV in 6.5CM, not a hunting rifle, has recently developed inconsistent extraction that sometimes requires me to re-chamber a spent case a time or two to get the case back far enough to remove, going to a .140" extractor ball will correct that.

As someone who keeps their stuff clean and views cleaning as a first solution and part of the survey of issues, I have personally witnessed extraction problem with a clean bolt head. Not even with a BR case
