I love that round, I have 2 model 99`s 1 Remington model 81 1 Remington 700 ( I say I have it my girlfriend has taken it over for bear hunting !) and a new Savage Weather Warrior in 300 Savage. I`m taking the new one bear hunting this year and leaving the Whelen at home. I have been having this idea in my head that I want to kill a bear, whitetail, mule deer, elk, moose and pronghorn all with one of my 300`s ! LOL Now if I can get Savage to sponsor me to help pay for all the hunts ! LOL I think I am going to load some 165 or 180gr partitions up since that seems to be what everyone is reccomending here.
