Designer of the 300 Savage cartridge? - 01/06/20
Anybody with old cartridge books ever run across mention of the person who designed the 300 Savage cartridge? And when? Probably 1920, maybe 1919 or 1921 - it was introduced in 1921 if that helps.
We know Charles Newton designed Savage's 22 High Power around 1911, and the 250-3000 a couple years later in 1914. Just not sure who did the 300 Savage. Newton again, or an in-house engineer or ???. Lots of "rumors" including Arthur Savage desgned it himself, but since he'd left the company 15 years earlier that seems unlikely.
Thanks.
