I did a lot of shooting with a Sav 99 in 243. ended up at 18" barrel due to crown damage and a rust pit. Had the same complaints from my mates. Flame thrower, loud and good shock wave.
I found H414 / W760 (87 gr vld) worked well but I was only looking to shoot deer and goats to 200 mtr. It would shoot 1.5" groups day in day out without a lot of mucking around.
The Chamber also was tight. Had to take the cases down to the minimum size every time and trim as well. Learnt the importance of cycling every sized case through the chamber before moving on.
Low pressure Trailboss loads of 58gr vmax for short range rapid fire on goats was very successful. Would suggest that both H414 and Trailboss are not as clean as the RL26 I use in my bolt 243 with heavy bullets
