I'm sure the issue is a lack of locking lugs and fear someone will try at some point to shoot big boy loads like the ones shot in receivers with bolt lugs that take the pressure. This may sound redundant but you may be happier to find a Savage large bolt face short action and put a Brux pre fit on it and you'll be in a whole new realm of accuracy and power. The Brux barrel is extremely accurate. |

For several years after the 10MLII was introduced, there were
quite a few photos of ruptured barrels on forums. Some had
admitted to mistakenly using a double load. One could see that
even when ruptures severe enough to split the barrel back to
the breech plug, the threads did not fail. Was there ever photo
proof the failure of breech plugs? Hillbill once stated that
lugged bolts in CF receivers were probably more for peace of
mind than safety.
My biggest problem with the 10MLII after (and before) converting
to .45 was carbon leaking through the breech plug. No spent primer
ever came out clean of carbon which also turned the front half of the
bolt black after only a few shots. Exterior of the breech plug
wrapped enough with plumber's tape stopped leaks around the
plug, but many, many things tried over the years failed to stop
leaks through the plug.
At one point, I got PR Bullet's Precision Rifle Savage LRVF kit
with primer adapters, thinking it might help. At that time, LR primers
were easier to find than 209's. End result was there
was just as much carbon deposit as before. The breech plug was
modified for a tungsten carbide bushing. Someone mentioned using
"O" rings in their break action having a similar plug from PR
bullet which stopped all leakage. I tried the same thing and
after headspacing the barrel for the "O" ring, became a very
happy camper -- NO MORE LEAKAGE!!! Accuracy was improved as well.
Granted, the 10MLII converted to .45 will never be able to shoot
325gr bullets @ 3,000fps so one can "bang a gong" at 1,000yds+,
but the conversion doesn't cost $3-$4 grand, either. Using sane
hunting loads with a 275gr bullet loaded to speeds of 2700-2800fps
keeping psi below 40,000, the 10MLII is still a great 200-300yd
(or more) ML. For us mostly woods hunters, that is WAY more than
needed. It's been quite a few years since I've shot a deer from
even over 100 yards.
