Rummaging around for Weiland's article on the 300 Savage, I found Mule Deer's article on the Savage rounds. If looking for it one will have to go back to the December 2005 issue of Handloader.
Weiland' article isn't that far back though it could be 5 years or so back. He was looking to get 2600 fps from a 150 gr bullet without locking up a Savage 99. 41.0 grs of Varget seemed to get the job done in his 99 as did 41.0-42.0 grs of 748. I am careful of what level I load the 300 Savage as I shoot lever and semiauto rifles so chambered in addition to bolt and pump guns. Remington 81s are a pain to work on and parts aren't always easy to find.
