I just got a Savage 99 in .300 Savage. I was thinking that a 150 grain round nose would be a nice bullet for 200 yards and less deer hunting. Anything I have found is designed for .30-30 velocities. Is there such a thing as a 30 caliber 150 or 165 grain round nose anymore?
I used the Sierra 150gr RN for a 300 Savage and now my 308s. In both cartridges the bullets worked great. Good expansion and held together. These bullets are not 30-30 bullets.
https://www.sierrabullets.com/product/30-caliber-7-62mm-150-gr-rn/Dave, I appreciate the suggestion. I had forgotten about Sierra bullets I guess. I’m my experience they were usually quite accurate and still fairly affordable. I’ll have to pick up a couple boxes of those .30 caliber 150 grain round noses, they should be perfect at .300 Savage velocities and closer ranges.
