Anyone shooting a 10ML in WA State?

[philnie]

It just occurred to me to ask this question. I should have asked it before I bought the slightly cheaper White Ultra Mag!

Do not think you can... 209 ignition only and it is a closed breech...

Yes, I guess you could if youe were to use it during the regular rifle season, that is what I do with my Omega - as it is not legal during ML season...

The 10ml is a fine rifle provided it is legal to shoot smokeless where you hunt.
I have a 10ml,Ultra-mag and an Omega.
I plan on using the Ultra-mag for elk in Co.
The Omega for deer in Co.
The Savage for deer in Wi.

I feel the White and Omega are far better choices than the Savage if you have to use BP.
If you can use smokeless the Savage will far outperform the other 2

I hear the fast twist and slightly higher velocity of the 10ml will blow even the bonded Shock Wave like a varmit bullet. I have tested the same bullet in several ways including on Boar and several mediums in my System One and my Omega and they held up just fine. I would have bought one myself except Ithough the twist was to fast for the bullets available. Lee

Think you heard wrong about blowing up the sw.I shoot a pretty stiff load useing sw and sst's @2440 fps,( have shot up over 26oo fps ) and haven't blowed up any like a varmit bullet yet.Some shoot higher fps than I do.
There were 8 deer from 78 yds to 225 yds and all complete pass throughs,with my savage this past year.Useing the SW and SSt's 250 gr.
You can get a lot of info from guys that actually shoot the savage at:

Thanks guys!

I'm just learning the ML ropes here in WA state and the Savage smokeless powder option was very appealing to me if it could be made legal - via some easy to do mods, etc ... sounds like it's not an option unfortunately! I would have loved to make a 209 to #11 conversion and be in business.

cheers,
