I'm with you pard, I had a great shooting Mod 99C in .308 that shot factory 150 like crazy. If you handloaded to those same pressures, which, back in early 80s, they weren't going that fast. If you tried to handload to higher velocity, cases wanted to stick. No sweat, everyone knew it had a "springy" action, you just compensated for it...with almost 300 Savage speeds, ha.
