When I bought my 10ML II the only recommended powder available locally was 4227. I bought some, got some 250 XTP?s and went to the range to sight in. The groups I got were better than my inline but not what I had expected from the Savage I was satisfied until I saw what a friends Savage could do right out of the box. He was using 4759. Got some and got my hands on some 250 SST?s and was thrilled with the results.
Now, I don?t like to throw things away so still have 2/3 of a can of 4227. I have no other use for it. I have a couple of choices. One to destroy it and the other is to shoot it. I figure it will be more fun shooting it. I don?t want to use the SST?s or the XTP?s so for fun I went out and bought some 200 gr SW?s some 40/50 blue sabots and plan to shoot it. This is not an experiment to find a better load. It?s only plinking for the sake of plinking. Don?t plan to learn anything. I hope I hit the target. It will just be an afternoon at the range shooting.
Well, I?ve been waiting a long time and it appears that I?ll have some free time next week. I?ll let you know how it went. If I get discouraged by the results I?ll take along my 22-250 so I can brag about how it shoots.
