There have been quite a few questions and comments here about loading and forming the four Savage cartridges.
The current edition of Rifles Handloader (Dec. 2005 no. 238) has the best "all in one" write up I've ever seen. It's written by John Barsness, and he's had them all---and formed brass for the obsolete or hard to get ones. He disputes some of the info in the Manual of Cartridge Conversions, and gives detailed advice on the best way to go.
The article spans pages 84 to 96, with only one of those pages devoted entirely to advertising, so it covers a lot of ground.
The article is definitely a keeper---for me anyway.
