My Savage really likes the 300 grain Barnes Expander MZ, using the supplied MMP sabot, over 43.5 grains (weighed) of Accurate Arms 5744 powder. Reliable, light recoiling, and accurate. I've never chronied this load, but according to the book it should be running around 2000 fps. Shot a 3" group with this load at 175 yards, and it's very deadly on deer.
