[QUOTE="MRUTVOL, post: 1355316, member: 1779"] [b]Re: Ok bullet / powder combinations for Savage ML1[/b] Ditto! Ruger as you can see there are a lot of different powders and loads that you can use but just remember cause it works in one does not mean it will be the best in yours . You will just have to try it and see which works best. It is not just the powder or bullet combinations but also the sabots you use. To me anyway that is about as key to that guns performance as any of the 3 aspects.
