I had a Savage 111 and it had similar problems.
It would shoot factory ammo very reliably most of the time with the occasional jammed bolt but reloads....NO WAY.
I tried the lightest of loads and always got the over pressure signs>
It went to a couple of gunsmiths and it was never figured out.
I gave up and sold the rifle with the info i had about reloads and the occasional bolt lock even with factory ammo.
I didn't want too dump my problems on someone else so i disclosed the info and the price reflected my sentiment about that rifle.
I have owned several Savage rifles and that was the only one i had an issue with even though it shot very accurately.
