vapodog,
Why wouldn't you handload for a Savage 99 .308?
.
I had two of them....one locked up tighter than a Bulls a$$ in fly time and I had to send it (loaded mind you) to Savage for repairs..the other was wiled to me by my father and I gave it to my brother as I had already learned that it won't tolerate even minor errors like a bolt rifle.....My brother is strictly a factory loaded hunter.....He loves the gun.
I am convinced to this day that the first M-99 froze up because I errantly used military brass for reloading....yes...my fault but I'm sure a bolt rifle would have survived the ordeal.
In those days I had horrible experience with anything Savage.....I will never buy another for ever!
