Mike, once you start shooting the Savage 219 you will find that it is a very enjoyable gun to shoot. Light powder charges under a Lyman 31141 GC bullet perform well, also the Lyman 311413 GC will do well.

Try some Trail Boss powder as you just fill the case to the bottom of the bullet. Velocities are slower but it's fun to shoot.
