Default

I may not currently hunt with my Savage BUT i have worked up some nice loads.

NULA
Barnes 225gr XPB at 2300fps+
Parker 275gr BE at 2250fps
Both are very pleasant to shoot

Savage 50cal
325gr FTX at 2150fps and at 2300fps with another powder. This bullet can easily go faster in the Savage. The 2150fps load isnt too bad. The 2300fps load will wake you up a little. I use the same amount of powder in the 45cal Pacnor conversion for convenience and get 2600-2650fps with a 200gr.
