Have only seen one. And it was a nice one. Most of all 22hps I have seen are worn out. They are a fun gun to shoot. Others in the past must have agreed.

Having never seen bullets of this caliber, and it being an old style Hornady box, I was thinking they might be a bit hard to come by for anyone wanting to reload for their .22 HiPower. Are they desirable or just another old, obsolete round?

I was being too serious when I wrote it. Photo bucket is back up but it took a really long time to upload this photo. Top: 22 Hi-Power Serial # 3468xx; middle 30-30 # 3768xx; bottom 303 Spiegle Special #3947xx. These calibers were no longer cataloged after about 1941. See 1942 catalog and price list in another post. The two calibers that were produced throughout the EG run. Top: 300 Savage w Stith mount and Weaver K2.5 # 5070xx, bottom: 250-3000 w Stith and Weaver K6 # 5027xx. The scope was produced about the same time as the rifle and has probably been on it since the rifle was new. This rifle had been in two collections for a long time before I got it and may not have been fired since it left the factory. And the newbies. The 308 class of cartridges were introduced in the 99's probably late 1955. Top: 358 with the folding rear sight introduced in 1959 to the 99's. This rifle was produced very near the end of pre-mil production and has a matching number 99F buttstock. Serial # 9673xx; middle: 308 with Weaver KV scope # 9560xx. I hunted elk with this rifle the last two years and shot one with it at 311 yards in 2015. Bottom: 243 # 9245xx, I just got this one. It has a semi-circle on the lever boss where the LBC should be. A closeup of the semi-circle on the lever boss. Anyone else seen this? The first digit of the serial number is faint but I don't think the receiver has been reblued. The barrel has definitely not been reblued, the case is a little faded and the engine turning on the bolt shows a little wear. David wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

The 243 is noticeably heavier than the 358 but part of that is the F stock on the 358. David wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

My latest favorites are my 358 and 30-30. I have probably killed the most game with Gs though. I have not taken anything with an H BB yet, so that has to change.
