I actually have one or two of those plugs, but don't have a savage anymore.

I would cherish anything RB made. I barely got to post in the forums before he passed away.

Depending on which design, his was better suited to sabot loads. The recessed version brings the powder closer to the primer. That can be a big benefit with powders like 4198 and sabots in cold weather. I really enjoyed reading his old posts. Ive probably read every one on MML. My barrel is his original spec for contour, its very over built for safety.

Hankins typically uses 78gr of IMR4198 to push a 275gr BE at 3000 fps, at least thats what his video says

I guess I haven't been keeping up with smokeless at all.

Those smokeless guys send them a long ways....................Accurately.
If you are asking me.... i don't have a clue. The bullet was shot three times today; the first time i ever shot it. Chances are, i will never shoot it again.
