I have a Savage 111 that I picked up in Montana one year the day after Thanksgiving. For some reason I’ve always felt there was some kind of a mystique to it from the time Remington brought it out.
I have only shot one deer with it, a smallish whitetail doe, at about 35 yds with the Remington 100 gr Core Lokt factory load. She ran about 40 yds and tipped over just inside the treeline.
I have the goods to start handloading for it one of these days.
It is a dandy cartridge, in my opinion.
