trips to Africa where it has taken on the largest plains animals in the world.

WARNING DO NOT USE ANY SMOKELESS POWDER IN ANY MUZZLELOADER OTHER THAN THE
SAVAGE MODEL 10ML-I OR MODEL 10ML-II.
Here is my first attempt with my new Savage 10ML-II using the Extreme 330 grain with 42 grains of SR 4759 powder.
I will undoubtedly be able to improve on this upon working up a load. However, it is refreshing to get this
kind of group from a gun right out of the box using the first load I tried.
