I got to shoot a 700ML yesterday. Saboted 240gr XPTs weren't shooting very well from it. I was shooting 100grs of Pyrodex powder, not the pellets. Do you shoot the pellets from yours? This rifle uses caps, not 209 primers and I didn't know if the caps would ignite the pellets consistently.

You can get an upgrade kit from Remington to g from percussion to 209 primers.

I use sabot bullets. With my new scope I'll be trying a variety of bullets as each gun is finicky. My Rem 700 30.06 loves Hornady Light Magnum and Custom loads but strangely enough does not do well with any Remington ammo, go figure.
