Savage 10ML-II
« on: November 24, 2002, 02:01:47 PM »
How many shooters have this gun?  I am interested in purchasing one as I have not heard anything bad from people with actual experience.  I spoke with the designer of the smokeless muzzleloader and I was very impressed.  What does everyone else think?

Thanks for the info Bob.  I am familiar with the Encore.  I own one, but I don't really care for it.  I have a bunch of Rem 700 rifles and a custom 700 ML.  Just looking for a new toy to play with.  

As for the powder requirement, the 10ML and the 10ML-II will handle 50 gr of smokeless, but the accuracy suffers and there is so much blowby on the sabot, the velocity is gone.  The sabot acts like a pressure valve.  When the pressure is too high the sabot gives way and the blow by occurs.  I have heard they do perform nicely with MMP magnum sabots and a 45 caliber magnum bullet.
