If your 300 is zeroed at 200 yards with Remington 150 grain Core-lokts it will hit 2.5" high at 100 and 10" low at the 300. If you know this and you know the range, any rifleman with moderate range time can hit and kill what he is aiming at out to 300 yards.

Bingo! From the recoil tables it looks like the 300 kicks a little more than I want. And it's more expensive than other rounds I use at the range. But what the heck, I plan on enjoying my new gun. ********************************************************* But... in the final analysis, it's your rifle and your decision to make. That said, I believe you'll find it VERY rewarding to hand-load for your .300 Savage and I am confident you'll find it an excellent deer cartridge as well as a fine cartridge for "hogs" and black bear.

Steelhead... Oh, I saw it, Pard... but I didn't see anyplace where you said that you knew the man personally... so what makes you so sure he doesn't hunt?

Don't hunt.
I'm in it for the guns. Then you've still picked up a nice rifle that is in decent enough condition that it will continue to accrue value as long as you hold on to it. As far as range shooting goes it's pretty easy on the shoulder and as accurate as you are. Think of it as a .308 light.

If anyone has a 99 that they consider to have excessive recoil, I'll be happy to ease your pain...

Ron, would you not be able to kill a black bear at 10 yards with a turdy-turdy? The 300 savage with a 165 nosler part. will have more velocity and energy at 200 yards than a 30-30 at 10 yards. Dont under est. the the 300 .
If you really like something,you better buy two!

I hope to be able to hit a 9 inch gong from the standing or one knee position at 100 yards with a Lyman aperture rear sight.
I expect it to be great fun.
Range report as soon as the 99 is delivered.
