RECOMMENDED
SMOKELESS POWDER LOADS
Your .50
caliber Savage Model 10ML-II muzzleloader has been designed and
built specifically to shoot clean burning, non-corrosive,
smokeless powder. Loads should be checked by weight carefully on
an accurate smokeless powder scale. Never use a volumetric
muzzleloader powder measure. If using "LEE" dippers
follow instructions for filling and leveling charge and periodic
checking on a scale.

NOTE:
To determine the best load for your Savage Model 10ML-II, try
loading one or two grains more or less of these powders with
saboted bullets of similar weights and diameters Use smokeless
powder loads with saboted .45 caliber bullets only. When loading
and shooting bore-sized lead conical bullets, Savage Arms, Inc.
recommends loading with "Pyrodex® RS",
"Select", or "Pyrodex® Pellets". Maximum
recommended charge is 150 grains.
NOTE:
The Savage Model 10ML-II is designed, engineered and built to
withstand the higher pressures of modern smokeless propellants
such as those listed above.
|
THE
USE OF SMOKELESS POWDER (OTHER THAN PYRODEXÆ) IN A
MUZZLELOADER NOT DESIGNED FOR SMOKELESS POWER MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE SHOOTER, BYSTANDERS AND
DAMAGE TO THE FIREARM.
|
USE ONLY
HIGH PRESSURE MAGNUM SABOTS DESIGNED FOR SMOKELESS POWDER WHICH
ARE AVAILABLE FROM MAGNUM MUZZLELOADING PRODUCTS, 518 BUCK
HOLLOW LANE, HARRISON, AR 72601 - TEL. #870-741-5019, FAX
870-741-3104. Part Number - 50X451 -- UPC Code - 3709650045.
NOTE:
Loads specified are for average hunting applications/seasons.
Shooting during extremely hot days will require reduction of
powder charges for best accuracy. Heat softens the sabot and can
cause a "blow-by" condition, which reduces velocity
and accuracy. RECOMMENDED BLACK POWDER AND PYRODEX®LOADS

WARNING — NEVER MEASURE
POWDER CHARGE DIRECTLY FROM CANISTER OR HORN. USE A
SEPARATE MEASURE TO TRANSFER CHARGE.
