One other thought...and that is that today's lighter bullets, 150 and 165 grains, (both the old stand-bys, and the newer controlled expansion premium types) may allow good penetration and expansion where needed on heavier game, and still keep the flatter trajectories inherent to their weights. The thought being that 180 grainers may not be needed. Best regards, JMHO, Rodfac
Confused about this statement. The 300 Savage was originally available in 150gr - one of the marketing ploys for it was that it duplicated the standard 30-06 loads for 150gr at that time.
Or are you saying that the old 150gr bullets didn't work on heavier game, and the newer 150gr bullets do? I'll agree that new premium bullets are far better than the 1920's versions, but most north american game isn't that hard to kill with cup and core bullets at 2700fps.
