Either the CVA Wolf or T/C Impact will get the job done. The Impact is a little more BH209 powder friendly right out of the box.

The NEW CVA Wolf is now offered in stainless and you can buy a BH209 plug for roughly $30 if you want to use that powder with good reliability. IMO its a better value than the Impact simply because it available in SS and CVA quality has improved a great deal in the last 4 years.

I would never use a 150gr load in either. It serves no purpose other than advertising hype. VERY few of us shoot can shoot that much powder accurately. It normally will not shoot very well. Plus there are far better ways to get that kind of speed such as the Savage or one of the custom smokeless MLs. 90-120gr of most powders is plenty most of the time. Most people shoot full bore lead conicals with much less powder and those loads will hammer an elk.

I shoot a Savage 50 and a custom Savage 45cal when i want bone jarring speed and accuracy. They can be very frustrating for a beginner to get them to shoot accurately but once you do, its a whole new ball game in ML performance

Both RW and Toby Bridges are "lower male appendages" IMO but RW does not work for Savage. TB used to but he was fired. RW just really likes the Savage and knows how to make them shoot. TB is simply for sale to the highest bidder and right now only Traditions will tolerate his behavior. He has been "let go" by at least 3 big name ML companies over the years.

BTW if you need a PAC northwest compliant ML for Washington, look at the older Knight LKs or the Bighorn. Top quality Green Mountain barrels and very accurate at a reasonable price. A nice used Knight LK or Wolverine can be found for under $200 and they are fine shooters. Several of the fancier Knights can be converted to comply also but we are talking about a $400-500 ML.
