Yeah, but playing with loads in a Savage is no more dangerous than playing with unpublished loads in a "normal" rifle. It's not REMOTELY like screwing with smokeless in a BP-only gun.
In fact, the Savage barrels are tested to at least 110,000 psi, FAR beyond the proof rating of any normal rifle cartridge. That, combined with the fact that it's much, much harder to build pressure behind the sabot, makes it very, very safe.
Savages have been shown, more than once, to survive double powder/double bullet loads with no apparent damage.
The only person who seems to have any trouble with them is the totally discredited, disgruntled, former Savage employee Toby Bridges who miraculously blew up 2 of them.
You'd have to be incredibly stupid to blow up a Savage.
