Rick, I said that off the top of my head. I'll have to look back in to my sources that I used for the book. According to page 22 of my book UMC made Savage ammo until 1900. Savage had to start producing their own ammo then because the Ammunition Manufacturers Association consisting of UMC, Winchester Repeating Arms Co., and the U.S. Cartridge Co.-refused to sell to Savage. This would be a quick rundown on what my reference said. But as we all know there is a lot of misinformation out there. David

With Savage never say never.
For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you.
