I don't have the Savage, but I have a .300 WM.
I found an accurate load with 200 gr Eld-X. I'm just over Alliant's load data using RL-26 and I'm getting 2,960 fps with my 26" barrel. Their book max is listed at 74.0 gr and I'm at 75.0 gr but loaded quite a bit longer than their test.
H1000 has always been good too.
