Both my sons use n110 and W209 primers in their Savages with no cold weather issues.
Ive just begun to investigate MLs. I don't understand what a tighter sabot would have to do w/ the powder lighting?? or I guess I really don't understand.

Now I have looked on Savages site and have not seen the MLII listed but just read -discontinued.. I guess I just stick w/ the 30-06.
