I had a very good friend that loved to shoot and deer/turkey hunt, he's dead 5 years now. He wasn't an aficionado or reloader. Off the bench, he held his index finger on the barrel top lightly of an old savage 243..and he shot that ragged rifle as good as my 12fv. He said he'd learned that savage rifles liked Federal Powershok ammo. I see there is a SP 64gr in Powershok I'll try.
