How effective is a ramrod as a projectile?
And how likely is it to cause damage when fired from a Savage 10 ML-II ahead of 43 grains of 4759?
I cannot visually detect damage, but think that I feel what must be caused by a bulge in barrel as I seat the bullet.
However, it still seems to shoot well.
After that last shot of this year's deer seasons the doe stepped into the open and just stood. She should have been my fifth deer. I was so angry at myself that gave some thought to opening a fifth.
This happened on 12/17. Tomorrow I'll call Savage to ask about having them look at it.
Final Determination by Savage .. ramrod fired from 10ML-II ruined it beyond repair
Savage called last week to say that they had made "two attempts to rebarrel, but could not target it."
They went on to say that because the 10ML-II is no longer made they could not replace it, but they very generously gave me a credit to pick from their current line. They said they were making this replacement because of their warranty. I had made it very clear in my cover letter that this was entirely by fault.
Savage has been very generous to me.
I will miss my 10ML-II.
