[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1152441, member: 1656"] The Savage factory smokeless MLs were limited in performance by their .50cal status. Smokeless is hot, so with so much plastic around the bullet blown sabots were the norm. By re-barreling to .45, the setup shines. Like many, I didn't bother with the factory and built one up from a Savage short action. It worked very well, IIRC I was shooting .40cal 200gr bullets north of 2700fps. There is nothing wrong with the new Remington, except years ago I began to find hunting/shooting time short and elected to no longer bother with BP/subs due to cleanup. I shot my smokeless ML for six years before using the action to build a 243AI and never had to clean the barrel. [/QUOTE]
