FULLDRAWXX75 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If so, what load data do you have or would like to share? Any brands of bullet work better (accuracy/performance) at the range and in the field? Thanks FDXX75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FULLDRAWXX75 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Rock, Have run that load through a cronograph to see what it's pushin' for fps????? I have read good things about that powder but always 68 - 76 gr. Have you ever tried any bullets in the 250 gr class??? FDXX75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corgiman Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I've just started to test loads in the 35 to 45 grains of IMR SR 4759 range using Hornady 250 grain SST bullets. I'm surprised at the larger loads mentioned in this thread as the manual (conservatively) suggests up to 45 grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbuff Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Natchez and Able ammo have them in stock,it is on my want list,but not first on that list. A white thunderbolt is leading the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulos Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Just a note Even though I dont own one I have read extensively about the Savages. the whole smokeless concept and patent design was bought by Savage from a North Carolina gunsmith named Henry Ball. He designed his rifle around the 300 grain Hornady XTP. MMP sabots and 5744 powder. And many owners say its a good place to start. Some good places to look for strting load data Modern Muzzleloading http://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/phpBB/ also Doug's message board --- http://dougsmessageboards.proboards.com/index.cgi and the Savage forum-----http://www.savageshooters.com/SavageForum there is alot of experienced Smokeless muzzleloaders there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
