and for my use
This is a phrase that some just can't wrap their heads around, insisting on trying to shoehorn everybody into their niche. The most common example is trying to push high BC bullets and giant scopes with twisty knobs to woods hunters that never shoot over 200 yards.
What fresh Hell is this?

I had a Savage 99 in .308 once. Sold it and went back to my .300's which I like much better. Joe, what is it about the 300 Savage that you prefer it over the 308? I found it had a sharper report, sharper recoil, and for my use, didn't kill any deader or farther than my .300. Yes, the .308 is easier to find and less expensive but, I prefer the .300. To each his own, they're all good. I could see that. I have a Savage 99C in .308 I've only fired in one session years ago and it was frisky although that was with 180 gr bullets. The Savage is a light rifle and on mine, there's a fair amount of drop to the butt stock. I never paid the .300 Savage much interest until recently I was comparing 300 Savage load data to the .308, and while the .308 is a significant step up in velocity, the .300 is more than adequate for the majority of hunting shots taken. It's a dandy cartridge. Of course, one could always load the .308 at .300 Savage levels as an option.
