Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Designer of the 300 Savage cartridge?

Thanks. That matches with what I've heard. But in case anybody has ever run into a name or a specific date, I'd love to hear.

There was an bright engineer at Savage by the name of Charlie Nelson that did some pistol improvements for them, and helped design the model 1920 the year before the 300 Savage came out. I don't know that he was involved ,but I wouldn't be surprised. Adding the 300 Savage cartridge to the 1920 made it competitive with other new bolt actions coming out in 30-06.
