Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Really frustrated with Savage ML 10 -II

In those kind of temps expect a 15min or more wait between shots. Did Savage test it with your scope? I dont think they normally will. Have you shot it with just iron sights?

Have you checked your vent liner. After .035 accuracy goes south.

TMZs are boattails and that usually equals BAD with smokeless. Especially with fast burning powders like 5744.

TEZs come with EZ load sabots, Thats bad too.

SSTs come with red 3 petals EZ load sabots. Again those are bad.

IIRC Savage test loads use SR4759 which is now hard to find. Its a bit slower than burning 5744 but gives better fps.

Try 63-65gr of Reloder7 and 300gr flat based bullets in the MMP black short. Its far more forgiving on sabots and easy to find usually. Harvester black crushribs are usually too loose unless you use a .458 bullet. With a 458 they are usually excellent shooters with the black crushribs
