Very nice shooting, and a nice 99. As I recall Mule Deer wrote a piece on the Imp and said that his rifle would shoot .224" diameter bullets just fine.

There was an article in American Rifleman some years ago by a British fellow who grew up in India. His father, being British, wouldn't own an American firearm, but the author loved American guns. When a teen, he bought a 99EG in 300 Savage. He shot a deer in the jungle with it, and then was charged by a tiger, which he then also killed. It seems that the tiger was stalking the deer he shot, and then bolted in surprise right at the author. This goes to show that the Savage rounds WERE sufficient to kill a tiger. I'm not so sure about the Imp, though.
