45Hawken, That is me. The "fake bullet" of the orginal 10Ml, is called a percussion module, that carries the 209 primer and the tapered nose of it mates tightly to the taper inside the chamber in the breach plug. This created the gas tight seal. The newer 10ML-II, does not use the "percussion module", but has a 209 primer holder on the bolt face. Upon firing the 209 primer swells in the 209 primer chamber and creates a gas tight seal. This works extremely well. If I had my choice I would opt for the 10ML with the percussion modules, but Savage have not made any sicne 2001, and will not be making that model anymore. A percussion module, if fitted the way ot supposed to, should last approximately 300+ shots each.
