Quit fussing over the .458s. 451-.452s work just as well. Better selection too.
And you have what kind of experience shooting smokeless in a Savage?
Its very well known that many Savage owners have better luck with .458s and the Black Crushribs. Some do quite well with the MMP orange sabot. In bores that run very large, the 458 and Crushrib combo can be one of the few loads that shoots extremely well when 452s are marginal.
Hey, don't mind me! I'm just tryng to help the thread-starter. You obviously aren't by leading him in directions where he's uncomfortable.
BTW.... most of the real world smokeless teachers don;t teach huge powder loads and huge bullets, not until Graduate School anyways.
Hey, but I thought you the highly experienced smokeless teacher knew that/..... obviously not.
BTW and once again thread-starter. There are a few .452s that work good in smokeless and there are smokeless plastic sabots for .452s also. Plus you don't have to wreck your shoulder in recoil having fun playing with smokeless.
We inexperienced "student" shooters seem to carry a little more common sense than the teachers.
