PBR,
I did publish a .300 Savage article sometime in the past. Back when I was using one quite a bit, my favorite all-around big game load was 42.0
grains of Reloder 15 and the 165 Partition, for 2600+ fps from the 24" barrel of a 99EG.
Are there any possible gains to be made with heavier loads in a modern bolt action over a 99?
