Smokeless What 209 primer?

[Linepaw]

Recently bought a savage 10ml11. What primer are you guys using with your savage smokeless setup? Lots of info out there on the web, but I wanted to hear what y'all were using. Thanks

I used winchester or federal in mine. But since I had the 45 built not shot it in couple years. Give you heads up. Call luke or get on ebay order you some vent liners to have. That is the key to accuracy in my book.

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to the smokeless world. How often should I change the vent liner?

When it starts not grouping is when I would change it. I have kept the ones put in cleaner and used the sonic cleaner from hornady on them some work good some dont. My experience is about every 50 to 75 shots I would have to change it.

Ultimately, a carbide bushing in the plug will last a hunter forever. Ventliner life varies greatly depending on powder used. Fast powder (imrsr4759, N110) will burn them out pretty quickly. Slower powders (4198, N120, RELODER 7) will give extended life. The way to check them is to buy a torch tip cleaner set. Measure their diameter with calipers or micrometer. Pick one that measures approx .040". Use it as a no-go gage. If it goes thru the ventliner, replacement is advised.

As far as primer brand, Federal are hotter but I've not experienced results as good as I've had with Winchester 209's.

What powder/load are you shooting, or planning to shoot? My advice is to ditch the ventliner, get Arrowhead 209 breechplug with 0.030 carbide bushing ($85) from Arrowhead MZing and be done for life. Get rid of the PITA vent liners and erase that uncertainty along the way.
