[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 502038, member: 22262"] I will try explain this the best i can. Nothing needs to be done to the boltface. You actually use the back half of a rifle caseing. I chose 7mm-08 because i dont have one so i wont be cutting up any of my brass i use on any other rifle. You could actually use 243,7mm-08 or 308 or 45acp brass. First you have to cut down the brass (unless using the 45acp) to .890 then prime it with the hottest primers you have. I use F215 in mine. You will headspace it useing the brass that you choose. I use the Hornady SST 200g bullet with a Harvester light blue smooth sabot. I was told this is the best combination for this type of muzzleloader. I am getting [SIZE=3]2760[/SIZE] fps with 63g of H4198 which is 300win mag terratory out of a ML. From what i understand the brass last a very long time cause there is little to no pressure comming back on the primer. I will note that there is another type of this set-up but it uses a 209 primer but you need to have the Savage MLII action but then you need to have it bedded and put a third pillar in. Since i already had the action of the 243 thats why i chose to go the direction i did. Please feel free to ask any more questions that you may have. [/QUOTE]
