Missdemeanor

Mark....All the guys I know that use the Savages use the IMR powder. I also use this powder. Two of my buddies have been shooting the same loads for 5 years and have had no problems. 43 grains of IMR and the T/C bullets. I also found that the federal 209 primers to be the best....Thanks for the input....

The Savage shoots all the regular loads of Pydrodex , Black powder, and triple seven. The difference between the Savage and other in line muzzle loaders is, the Savage can shoot Smokeless rifle powder. The same stuff that is in Shot gun shells and rifle cartridges. With this powder, all that is needed is 43 to 45 grains depending on what grain projectile. I use a 250 grain T/C super glide sabot ballistic tip with 43 grains. On the instructional video I got with the gun, a guy shot a 3/8 inch steel plate at 100 yards with 150 grains grains of pyrodex. He put a significant dent. The guys cleaned the gun and then fired 45 grains of smokeless with the same projectile, same distance. The bullet made a perfect pass through of the steel plate......Awesome to say the least. With the lower amount of powder with the smokeless, comes less recoil...Kinda like shooting a .20 gauge. Here is a site I found to be pretty good on the Savages....http://randywakeman.com/savage3.htm Hope this answers some questions and hopefully I can show some actual handy work

Bruce.....I Never doubted you for a second. I Never thought I'd give up My 870 ( aka Dr. Kevorkian) but I gotta say the savage is Just crazy....zero recoil. The guy at Biekerks says that the guns now go for close to a grand since the announcement. Ray the only way those guns blow up are when dumbasses try to load too much powder. 43 grains is all you need.....hopefully I can smoke somthing thursday or friday....god help the first big doe I get a crack at....

Well I finally bought a Savage ML2 muzzleloader. I have been looking into this gun for a while now and finally made the purchase. savage has discontinued the thier muzzloader line and have gone more with thier centerfire rifle line. Anyway I sighted the gun in the other day and man...what a shooter! 1 inch groups at 100 yards.....I know, no big deal but I shot it at 200 and it was still on the money with only about 3 inch drop. Like cromeslayer says..... A tack driver. I cant wait to dump one with it....Happy hunting!

I understand the concept of black cloud, Just can't get them to pattern out of My guns. That new stuff shoots very well out of My super mag. I can't wait to try it on eiders in January.... [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Jerry...I coyote hunt all winter and I can tell you they are the toughest critters to hunt. I think they are ten times tougher than a whitetail. Congrats man. Just think about how many dawns you saved. The new muzzle loader is the bomb! Good luck the rest of the season. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Fellas....on a wim, I tried the hypersonics yesterday. I was impressed to say the least. They destroyed the birds. Stoned a mallard at 40. I even shot the head off a Drake pintail at 20 yards. The real Test will be whistlers after I do a little bambi bustin. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Blue....My season has been pretty good so far. The last few times out, We have had pretty good shoots. I don't get serious till the divers and sea ducks show up. Been seeing big flocks of widgeon and pintails. The most of the wood ducks have moved on and I'm sure the greenwings are on their way....good luck the rest of the season.....
