[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1705580, member: 95733"] With my Savage 10ML-II I looked for damage to my primers or if I had considerably more difficulty removing the primer from the BP than I knew was typical. To a lesser extent I always tried to recover and examine my used sabots. If the outside temps were at or below 70*/F I would use a damaged sabot as an indication of over presure. By damaged I mean sabots that were missing petals had been torn into pieces or otherwise no linger intact. I could be wrong but I am of the strong belief that a sabot acts like a sort of over pressure relief valve and should (hopefully) fail before any part of the ML will and allow the excessive pressure to safely vent out past the bullet and out of the muzzle. After 1500+ loads of smokeless powders like H4198, RL10x and RL7 in charges ranging from 58-70 grains I know what a failed sabot looks like. I absolutely love shooting my inlines and once I made the switch to smokeless I was forever ruined and spoiled by not having to clean my barrel until after season is over. As much as i love and sing the praises of BH209 from the mountain tops, you still have to clean your bore or you will get a visit from a very welcomed guest that will take up residence uninvited in your barrel, Mr. rust. I also second going to Doug's board. Been a member there for well over 14 years. You wont find a better ML website anywhere. [/QUOTE]
