Etienne, ... for the .035 tip, I saw some pictures of ablown out one so I have that vividly in my mind. Where do youbuy the Vent liners? Ionly have 40 shots thru it, so it should take 100 right?

The mini Drill Bit:
Item: # 20PCDS - $9.95 per setMini Drill Bit Sets
on http://www.sloanswoodshop.com/drill_bits.htm
100 ventliners: around that, with the kind of loads.
Any way, you will notice that the change is quite sudden in a blu sky... in a few rounds, there it goes...
I use to check the vent after every range session; or during the session if suddenly everything goes out of control... I mean not even shooting at the 2 x 2.
Hope that will help.
Etienne Brule.

Yes, I saw that tool, but $43 is a bit much I think. I need to get a rachet or screw driver that has a ft/lbs and make sure I tighten the screw to exactly what I did before. I think I will go that way, since the screwdriver would have broader application. Thanks for the suggestion.

Something to consider getting is the EZ Rachet breechplug tool, as it allows you to remove the breechplug without loosening the rear action screw, thus eliminating a possible move of POI due to shifting. I have never noticed a shift in my sav, but have one on order. You can get the info to order one, if interested on the link I post earlier to Dougs Message Board. They are a little spendy, at least I think so, at $43 and change, but seem like a very good thing to have if accuracy is especiallly important to you.

Don't worry about tightening the vent liner or breachplug to a specific ft/lbs. I have never worried, other than to have a good amount of nickel antiseize on the the threads for both and "snug" tight works. You should be able to get a good number of shots with 5744, say 50-70 before the vent liner starts to go. If you start using a hotter powder you will get less shots.

RE: Savage 10 ML
Thanks fellows but I would be the first to say I am no better than any of you,I just have many years of shooting experience and practice.I don't shoot any competion because I have no interests in it I just shoot to satisfy myself.If I can help someone that is great too.Believe it was 3 years ago I put over 1500 rounds of 250 gr sst's through 2 savage ML11.that year.
I was in town I think it was last year,at my age the years are like months and the months like days,they go so fast.A fellow comes up to me and asked if I remembered him?He looked familar but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.He said you set up my rifle for me and I killed 2 deer this past season.After talking to him he had been out west hunting and hunted here but had never scored on a deer.I think I was as happy for him as he was at getting his deer.
I think RW has the best vent liners they really do last and last.Chap useing the 5744 load you should get at least 100 shots from the factory loads.I am taking for granted you have the vents with a single hole in them.The bits, etienne helped you out there,I put my drill bit in a t-handle that I picked up at a hardware store for a couple bucks,some even use a power drill.

50-70 shots before replacing the vent liner? How much do they cost?

3:45Pm 6/1/07 Just called Savage and they sell them for $3 each, so I ordered 4. That should do me a year at 100 shots each. I also ordered a Savage Sling, Black to match the gun. Very nice looking:

RE: Savage 10 ML
You can also order the factory vent liners from Savage as well, with a phone call. It really depends on how much shooting that you plan to do....The RW vent liners perportedly last quite a bit longer, but again how much are you going to shoot? I have just stuck with the one hole factories, as I shoot maybe 50 rounds downrange all year.
