I'm new here and this is my first post. Ive been following this topic and I feel this is the place to be when you have a modern muzzleloader I see you guys are very helpful here and it is comforting to know there are members on this forum that have great knowledge and experience. I almost bought an Omega but I found a Savage 10ML-II and just got it delivered yesterday. I hope you guys can give me some sound advice with the Savage to get me up and firing. I will be trying smokless powder that is recomended by Savage for sabboted bullets up to 300 grains. Anything over 300 grains I will be looking at BH209 or 777.
I need to let you guy's know that muzzleloading is all new to me and I want to learn it right the first time.
Welcome,
You made a fine choice of a MZ. I don't have one but have read that it takes a while to identify the best loads. You may want to check in the Smokeless Section for suggestions. The one piece of advice I always give newbies to the sport is to be vigilant about cleaning. If you don't have time to clean properly, don't go shooting.
You have many options with the Savage. The somkeless game is a whole other topic. Good luck and have fun.
I hope I don't beat up here to bad if I made a wrong choice of a muzzleloader. :shock:
Omega45,
The DNZ mounts are some of the best built and are made for many rifles and muzzleloaders. The plant is about 35 miles from where I live and spoke to them about mounts about 9 months ago and they are very helpful. I will see if they make one for the Savage. If they do DNZ will be my first choice.
