Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting A Savage 99 Thread

300 Savage vs 308 in 99's... 300 has half the kick, 90% of the power, and both kill deer almost identically. 308 handles heavier bullets much better.

Nothing wrong with either one. I hunt with a 300 Savage, and the only two times I've needed a second shot is when I failed to place the first shot where it belongs. 23 deer killed so far with it, two needed a second shot.
