Default RE: Another Savage ML10 Blows

I did not read the article or site you are referring to but I own a 10ML and have at least 300 shots through it (which alot for gun you load once every 10 minutes)using 40- 43 grains of 4759 and a 250-300gr sst or xtp and never had, seen or heard of a "blow up" till now. The reciever and breech plug stays cleaner than any other gun Ive ever owned ,so I dont uderstand the excessive blow back claims either, the vent hole is tiny and the breech is completely sealed when the bolt is closed. I know becausew Ive literally had water pouring out of the breech area several times during rainy hunts and never a hang or misfire. I would imagine any rifle loaded too hot could be a potential pipe bomb but when I look a the beefy reciever and barrel I feel pretty safe pulling the trigger. In fact, the only thing I hate about my 10ml is it weight[:@]
