Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Another 300 Savage...

Dean- that will be a useful rifle for you, I believe. I have a couple 300s but are Savage 99. I could supply you with a box of Winchester 150 gr loads (silver box) if you need them. I have an old set of Herters dies you would be welcome to for a starter but right now I am having difficulty finding the sizer body. Got to be around here somewhere. Must be getting old...

Haha! Thank you Bruce, very much appreciated! Good luck Saturday morning, keep warm!

This opening day, I'll be using my custom Mauser in 375/350 with Speer Hot-Cor 235gr jacketed soft points. Overkill, yes! But first chance to use this rifle for hunting, has been at the range only so far.

That will kill! Good luck

I've killed two deer with these in my Savage 99. The first was quartered sharply towards me at 50 yards. The bullet entered near the point of the right shoulder & exited just behind the last rib on the other side. The right shoulder was shattered, there was a big hole in the heart & lungs.
The second one was hit a little far back striking one lung and the liver had a lot of damage. That one exited also. Exit wounds were not very big. Both ran about 100 yds.
