[QUOTE="BringBackThe80s, post: 5218467, member: 19834"] I came here to say exactly that about 2400 and 4759. (As well as "never put smokeless in an ML that was not designed specifically for smokeless propellants.") I have not used 5744 for loads based on "fast" burning propellants, but I wish I had some to play with. People I respect swear by it as the starting point for the 10ML2. For fast propellants, I get great groups with VVN110 and 250gr XTPs or SSTs, but I only have a bit left for my hunting use. For medium-slow propellants, I got good groups and killed three deer with IMR4198 and 245gr Spitfires, but I suspect pressure was lower than optimal. In slow powders I also got great accuracy and killed numerous deer with H322 and 300gr SSTs/SWs. You should check our Doug's board, but do a lot of reading to make *sure* you fully understand the internal ballistics, burn, and pressure mechanics before using any "non book" loads. I love my Savage 10ML2, but it's not as simple as just dumping some powder or pellet and bullet into a smoke pole. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
