I got a savage ml2 this year for ML season. I worked up a load that shots 1" at 100 with 260gr bullets at 2275 fps. No cleaning, seating subsequent bullets is easy etc. Can't beat it.

2 years ago I shot twice at a buck and missed with my traditions ML using pyrodex pellets. Seating the third bullet required me to ram my rod against the tree I was standing next too. I don't take cleaning stuff along when I go into the woods and shooting more than once can and does happen when you have cannon ball trajectories.
