You mentioned in the ad that it would be a good platform for a SML conversion and i agree it would be. I think its better than a Savage myself....with the proper mods.

We are getting off topic though and things are coming across that may be interpreted as hostile. The buttflappers give us inline guys enough grief and my favorite ML is still my GMB54 and will be for years. Only the NULA comes close and only because its so light and well made.

Plus since its Chucks old gun its special to me. The Savage really doesn't trip my trigger unless i want to test my pain threshold. I will probably never hunt with it in its present form.

ATM im most interested in a faster twist 45cal sabotless rifle for use with BH209 or any sub that will work. Im not one of the "cowboys" as ive been called who push the limits into the 50K psi range with smokeless/sabotless. My loads are well within max sub pressures and just as safe when used with caution. Cleaning them when i want is a nice plus too.

Each powder i use serves a purpose just like any powder you put in a cartridge. I just feel we are getting screwed over by the IMR sub monopoly and the best way i can fight back is going smokeless when i can. I hope this new powder puts a dent in Westerns sales enough to get its cost down or sell it by the pound. I hope it works great in my 45s with sabots. If it is all its cracked up to be, BYE BYE BH209 except for special loads.
