Thanks fellows but I would be the first to say I am no better than any of you,I just have many years of shooting experience and practice.I don't shoot any competion because I have no interests in it I just shoot to satisfy myself.If I can help someone that is great too.Believe it was 3 years ago I put over 1500 rounds of 250 gr sst's through 2 savage ML11.that year.
I was in town I think it was last year,at my age the years are like months and the months like days,they go so fast.A fellow comes up to me and asked if I remembered him?He looked familar but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.He said you set up my rifle for me and I killed 2 deer this past season.After talking to him he had been out west hunting and hunted here but had never scored on a deer.I think I was as happy for him as he was at getting his deer.
I think RW has the best vent liners they really do last and last.Chap useing the 5744 load you should get at least 100 shots from the factory loads.I am taking for granted you have the vents with a single hole in them.The bits, etienne helped you out there,I put my drill bit in a t-handle that I picked up at a hardware store for a couple bucks,some even use a power drill.
