I have learned more about reloading from Ken Waters than just about anyone else, or anything else except experience gained from trying what he talked about. I only wish I had come across him and in particular his article on the Pet loads for the 300 Savage sooner than I did. I have never had a 300 Savage. But his rifle was a model 99. If I had had the good fortune to have read that when it was published, I would have saved myself from selling a rifle I will always regret selling, a Savage 99F in 308. Ken's discussion on setting up sizing dies for the Savage chamber would have told me that there was nothing wrong with that rifle, but there was everything wrong with the way I was approaching sizing for it. Well, I can use the excuse that I was a young dumb guy not very far away from my teen age years.
