I have a Rem Classic .300 Savage with a Weaver vintage K3 on it and just for old time sake, I've shot nothing thru it except ammo loaded with a Lee Loader. I can get 1.5" 5 shot groups off the bench with it and I've killed several deer.
In a nostaglic moment I purchased a M99 G, 300 Savage last October. My Dad used one on whitetails in the "big" woods of northern Wisconsin. My younger brother owns it now and hunts whitetails and bear in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. He loads it to about 2600 fps with 165 gr Hornady SP over 41 grs IMR 4064. I looked up Dad's load... 2450 fps with 165 gr. Speer RNSP over 38 grs IMR 3031. No complaints in the accuracy department. Will be loading for the 300 in a few days and will work up to the aforementioned loads and more...Send them down the range soon if we can get a January thaw.
