That is my point.
The savage 99 s I have owned in 308 were unable to handle the 308 loads I developed if I used a bolt action or a Winchester 88 or a BLR . As is I had to mark them separately in the boxes. This was most evident in warmer weather. I just read a thread where Mule Deer was explaining how above 70 degrees F and above can spike pressures ( even with extruded powder)
I only have had a handful though. The 300 savage case was the inspiration for the win 308 case. So I think economically the 300 savage is hands down the cats meow 4 the savage 99 action.
Perhaps them white collared some beaches in the upper floors of the savage arms plant earned their pay by knowing something?
As I side note I hunted two years with a BLR 7 08. I have decided to not do that anymore.
