Oh for sure

I was under the impression that they were having issues with their smokeless loads? Not so much blackhorn or pyrodex

I was looking at the mcwhorter ones. They claim 2800 FPS with 325 gr 45cal sabotless. And half moa accuracy
That’s insane

I’ve owned about 9 of them. Still have one that I converted to .458 sabotless rig.

There are a lot of good loads out there. Go to savage arms and look under owners. They have an updated load section.

I have used 5744,4759 and others.

One of my biggest concerns were loose loads and it is my understanding this could cause ringed barrels. Be careful of that. You want a tight fit.

Savage posted loads will pull 2100 to 2300 fps.

Look at 300 grainers and harvestor crushed rib sabots.

I never bought these but if I stayed with stock I would have bought a Thor sizing kit. They offer 4 sizes of 50 cal full bore bullets and you test which one fits best.

You gun was designed on 300 grain pills....
