Well if I had had this set of pics a couple of years ago I would have saved a bunch of $$ and maybe even learned some stuff myself. Turns out that I had been seeking a "short" .308 bullet for the wildcat I was playing with, and so ended up with a nice collection of shorter overall length 308 caliber bullets, perfect for those two beautiful .300 Savages (and a third inbound) I now own!
I love how that "old school" recently-discontinued Speer 180 grain Mag Tip is shorter than a bunch of the 150s and the Barnes 130. I just bought a bunch I cant wait to load up, I guess they were designed with scallops in the copper to aid in low speed expansion but also hold together in the tough stuff. Or so says the Speer factory ads, LOL! I bet there are a ton of elk and moose and mulies who would agree with the factory, if they could. I know there are some pigs nearby that need to help me test their terminal performance out of a .300 Savage in a large, hard critter.
