Parabola: This is an EG as well and... yes, that seems to also be the consensus on the Savage Collectors site. An issue to contemplate, I suppose. Purely by accident, I had accumulated an 8lb jug of Varget powder before the great COVID component famine descended on us all. And, even well-before that, I had put back a large brick of the appropriate primers (during the great Bill Clinton/Janet Reno primer famine of the 1990s, remember that one?). Assuming that I can find the lighter (87 grain) Speer Hot-Cor pills out there somewhere, I should be able to work up a load for this venerable cartridge & rifle. My great concern now is that it will be just too-nice for me to use (if that's at all possible). Yet another good problem to contemplate.
