Justin, I see that there are currently four nice looking ML 10 IIs on Gunbroker.  They start at a grand and the current bid on one with scope and accessories is almost 1900.  I think I paid around 750 for mine at Beikirchs maybe 8 years ago.  One issue with the ML II is that Savage no longer offers any parts.  I see on ebay that there are aftermarket ventliners and breech plugs, guess I should take a chance and stock up.  Right now I can't find any primers online, very little AA 5744, etc.  It's crazy, hope things settle down.

Theres several guys building plugs for the savages

Guess I’m have to see if they shoot in my Pro
Hunter and figure out a load that works. Anyone have suggestions?
Still haven’t ruled out the Barnes 250 grain as I believe they should be similar to the shockwaves my gun likes.

Is the new Traditions Nitro Fire system legal in NY (the bullet still needs to be loaded down the barrel). Can you order a muzzleloader by mail in NY since it is not considered a “firearm”?

Yes u can.. just not a Encore or rem ultimate

When i was shooting a encore with bh209 Barnes were by far my first choice for a bullet.  Was shooting the Barnes Expanders.. most of the time they dropped in there tracks and if they did run there was always a heavy blood trail.. never had one fail to open up as intended and exit side was impressive

There is 2 bullets id never shoot unless i was shooting targets.. thats shockwaves and powerbelts..

That is a pretty neat little gun, watched some videos. How much of a pain is it with sizing modules and such?


Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Priming modules are easy.. you do need a press to size the bullets and reprime the modules.. and some sort of powder scale to weigh out your charges
