You're not using a single load that Savage recommends. Throw the green sabots and the .429 / .430 bullets away, and don't shoot heavier than 300 grain saboted bullets.
Drill out your breechplug, install a fresh ventliner, and use .452 standard 250 or 300 grain Hornady XTP's with short black MMP sabots, for starters.
