RE: Savage 99 question
ORIGINAL: brasskeeper I have a model 1899 in 300 savage according to the serial # it was made sometime during 1922. These are fine rifles and If you see one don't pass it up.:eek: The 300 savage is close to the same power as the 308 winchester. The winchester has a slightly longer neck which allows it to hold more powder. I would say in a more modern action which could handle the pressure and a faster burning powder, you could hand load the 300 savage to do anything a 308 winchester can. But these are my opini:)ons. brasskeeper, I believe the Pre-1955 Savage has a shorter action than the Post-1955 action. They made it alittle longer when Winchester intoduced the .308 in 1955. I agree with you, the .300 can be hanloaded to match the .308Win |
