Another one to look for is the 200 grain bullet for the 300 Savage.

I thought I was miss-remembering, and didn't mention it but the first reloader that I talked to used to load those in a 308. Where can I get them? Captdavid


I think you're pushing the concept a bit far here. I've loaded lots and lots of 300 Savage. I have a 700 Classic that I've enjoyed shooting quite a bit, far more than hunting requirements dictate. A 180 at 2400 is right in the little 300's wheelhouse, and it would do just what you're asking it to.
