I wouldnt put Pyrodex in my Savage if you paid me and cleaned it for me. BH209 though can be very good in the Savage, Ive also shot a fair amount in a 45cal sabotless. I was surprised how well it worked with hot 300gr bullet sabotless loads.
BH209 can pretty much equal 5744 in fps if you dont mind more clean up time and cost per shot.
