As an owner of a few 300 Savage rifles I have couple of questions about reloading the Nosler 170 gr. Partition and Speer 170 FN for deer hunting. I am a long time reloader but with little experience taking game. I hunt mostly to be in the woods but am thinking of taking game with one of the old classic rifles. The rifles I have are Savage 99’s and Remington Model 81’s. Knowing the limitations of COL., I was thinking the Nosler 170 PT RN (30-30) or the Speer 170 gr. FN SP (30-30), may be ideal bullets for Michigan deer hunting. As shots will be 50 – 150 yds. My question is what can I expect for terminal performance at the higher velocity of the 300 Savage? Would these bullets be good for black bear, hogs etc.?
Thank you to everyone for your responses.
