Well, although this thread is almost 2 years old, my preferred load for my 99H carbine is the RCBS 30-180 FN ( 189 grains) and 30 grains of IMR-4320 which gives a little over 1800 fps. Second choice is Lyman 311407 (186 grains) and 34 grains of H-414 going slightly less than 1800 fps. Love to load the .303 Savage with it's long neck!
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths.
