ML-II ?'s

[Monkeymaster]

Hi,
My ML-II Plastic stock, Burris 3x9 ffII
shoots 42 grn 5744 win 209s, with 300 grn 458 diam sierra hpts around 1 1/2" at 100 yds.
3" at 200.

I think it can do better.
#1.What amount of inch pounds have you set the front action screw with ?
I know every rifle is different, just want to hear what others set theirs at.
#2. How many of you bed your rifles, and do you bed just the front action screw area, and since the back doesn't really pull the action down, just acts as a guide for the bolt to slide on, or do you bed both ?
Thanks in advance

Hey man I have an ML2 with the accu trigger. I shoot 48 grains of IMR 4227 powder and a Hornady .452 xtp. It's a freaking tack driver for a muzzleloader.

Drew which sabot do U use pls

I use Barnes .458 bullet, H4198 for great accuracy and 2400 fps. Basically the same as I load for my 45/70 but it shoots better and faster from ML11

I don't think you'll see the true accuracy potential of your 10 ML-II in a Savage factory synthetic stock. You can try fully bedding the action and recoil lug area making sure the tang and barrel are floated. I would see if that improved accuracy with your current load before you start changing powders and bullets.

I have the stainless Savage 10 ML-II bedded in a laminated wood stock. I use N-120 (discontinued) with the Barnes Original .458; 300gr bullet (BC = .291) and orange HHP sabot. When I run out of N-120, I'll most likely try RL-7. I use a Leupold VX-2 2-7x33 with CDS dial calibrated for a 150 yard zero. Plenty accurate and good terminal performance for deer size game out to 300 yards.
