I took my "new to me" Savage 99 out West River deer hunting. I used 150 grain Hornady SP's. The bullet entered the ribs by the heart, converting the heart to mush. The bullet was under the skin on the off side 125.2 grains and .62" diameter. I guess I was a little surprised that the bullet opened up so much. The back straps are tasty, BTW.
That bullet was the most accurate bullet out of that 300 by a long shot (ha).
