I disagree. I use a stout load in the rifle that is around 1800fps without any major leading issues. I beleive they say they are fine out to about 2000fps without leading.
If you are overly concerned you can get them with gas checks.
I use Oregon Trail Laser cast in both my GP100 and my 1894CS - 20".
For 158gr and up to 180gr I use 'lil gun powder for both loads. You won't be dissappointed.
I have that exact rifle - it is a shooter out of the box. Last Friday I took a friend to the range - he couldn't believe we were hitting a 8" steel pig at 600 yards consistently. You couldn't even see it without the scope/spotting scope if you didn't know it was there.
Load was:
175gr...
...probably not like you. It is almost disrespectful IMHO.
Do they reduce recoil - good brakes will help considerably. Our local range officers generally frown on them unless it is on a rifle that *needs* it(.338 and up). They generally say if you can't handle the recoil - get a different...
The 158gr XTP HP's and the 158gr XTP FP's are very nice and shoot very well. They are also very reasonable priced. (At least they were when I stocked up on them - haven't checked lately.)
All I have to add is that the old Frankfords are better than the newer ones that go flat up to the top - instead of curving in.
Side by side my old Frankford cleaned brass way faster than my friends newer model.
First off I have never loaded those particular bullets - but plenty of Laser Cast 180gr bullets. I didn't see the overall length listed of that bullet - maybe I missed it?
'Lil Gun is my go to powder for 158gr and up in .357 magnum loads. Must use magnum primers or you won't get full burn...
If you plan on modifying it with custom stock, barrel, etc - go Rem. The stock Savage with a HS Precision stock, or MCMillan from the factory will out shoot a Rem.
Savage 1:10 twist, button rifled
Remington 1:12 twist, hammer rifled.
Savage wins the out of the box question, Remington...
Oregon Trail laser casts work really well - 180gr.
Also, I load Hornady XTP's 158 gr.
Both a propelled by 'Lil Gun and magnum primers.
For the 125gr Golden Sabers - I use Titegroup.
600 yards.
At a known location.
Savage 10FCP .308. Handloads using 175gr Berger VLD's - 44.6gr Varget - CCI BR2 primers.
10X fixed power scope.
