So, just how many fairies CAN dance on the head of a pin?😁

Savage designed the .300 so it would work in an unaltered 99 action. They got it right in that it delivered great performance in the game fields. (And the wonderful package it came in didn't hurt either.) But the unalterable truth is that then as now it was/is straining at its leash to keep up with the .30-06 which is loafing along. Add to that shear versatility (for example with bullets a lot heavier than 180 grains) and it's longer neck for bullet support and the '06 remains champ IMO.
