I'm in the process of acquiring a .300 Savage...a cartridge I have no experience with. Anyone have any pet loads for a Savage 99 in that estimable caliber?

I cast my own bullets for both rifle and pistol so if you've got some suggestions along those lines, I appreciate them as well. Looks to me like the short neck on the .300 would make cast bullets problematical.

Too, I've several .30-30's by two other manufacturers and have found that Remington's 170 gr Core-lok works well, in them as well as .308, .30-40 Krag and .30-06. How 'bout the .300 Savage?

I've got 50 years of hand loading experience behind me...so let me have it.

Best Regards, Rodfac
