[QUOTE="sirsye, post: 839156, member: 64608"] deertroy1, N-120 is a very good powder for your 300 gr. bullets. I have found 57-59 grains work best in my muzzle loaders. The orange mmp loads too loose in my guns and have started using Harvester short black sabots (part # H5045SB). I only use these with the Remington 300 gr bullets since they are actually a .457 bullet. As far as the Hornady and Barnes 300 gr., I have found Harvester black crush rib sabots work best for me. With the Savage, when loading your load you want a snug fitting sabot. (say around 30-40 lbs force to load). If it slides easily down the barrel, most of the time accuracy will suffer. Good luck with your new gun. [/QUOTE]
