Default Savage 99 range report

I just came back from the range. Not the best conditions. Rainy, windy and someone stole all the sandbags![:@] I shot factory Winchester Super-X 150 grain power points. At 100 yards, the groups averaged
2 to 2 1/4 inches on paper. But as soon as I dropped the crosshairs on the 300 yard pig silohuettes, they fell over! Who da thunk it? I was only using a fixed 3 power weaver scope, and make-shift bags. Also I haven't really had a good shooting seesion for some months now. I know I shouldn't try to make excuses, because I'm sure the rifle will do better than this on paper. I will try some good handloads, on a better day. Maybe with a little stronger scope, just to see how it does. How are the groups out of anybody elses 99's? What are you using for loads? Have a good night.
