Used the 130 TTSX on Deer, with a rebarrel Kimber Montana, at around 2900FPS...Varget and W748....Wasn't surprised it worked well....

What would be a reasonable top end velocity with 130's in a 300 Savage 99? I don't think one would want to push it as hard as a bolt gun, although they are strong actions.
