My computer wouldn't draw up that link, the old dial up is pretty slow on links sometimes.
I believe that 4759 is about the same as my powder, VV N110.
I am shooting 43 grains and the 250SST.
Last year I got the biggest buck of my life with that load, the 8 pointer field dressed at 205. Lung shot, he didn't go far.
I also took a nice 6 pointer two years ago with a high shoulder shot, dropped him in his tracks.
Do you ever talk to the boys on the Savage forum:

Some very knowledgeable guys over there. Several of them have had problems with the 250 SST blowing up on shoulder shots on big deer, shooting at high speed, and they have lost the deer.
Due to this potential problem I am switching over to the 300XTP for next year, don't have time to go to the range to dial it in for this year.
