I would never use it. I'm always shooting my caplock or flinters now with the Omega sitting in the vault collecting dust. Now if I lived out west it could very well be a different picture.... or even S. ON where you can get some long bean field shooting in I can see the practicality of it. None the less, that is still a very long ways to be shooting at a critter.
ET1, I think they said they were using Parker bullets. I have heard (read) good things about their line of bullets.

ET1 they have a load for your Savage
Bob Parker: I have found my Savage to be user friendly and very accurate. The
projectile it seems to like best is the 300 grain Match/Hunter. Accuracy with
this projectile is sub 3/4 inch and down range performance is very good. The
load that works best in my personal rifle is 60 grains by weight of Vihtavuori
N120

Thanks for posting the additional info.
As stated before I’m not a fan of 300grain bullets. The max I want to use is the 275XPB (460 S&W) that I believe will make an excellent load for moose.
For deer I use the 250SST and can produce less than a minute of angle accuracy.
The older version of the hard tipped 250SST was a real shooter but fragmented like crazy at close range. The newer Flex Tip 250SST doesn’t fragment as easily but some deterioration to accuracy.
I also have plans for the 225FTX and 200FTX for Mr. Coyote. Lots of experimental fun ahead but just need to find the time to get out and play more often.
