View Full Version : Savage 99: Ammunition Question on Model 99 .308

I recently bought some Nosler 125 grain ballistic tip ammunition, but in attempting to load the bullet is too long and it binds when the rotary mag begins to turn. I had the same issue with some Hornady 168 grain with polymer tips.

Is there anything I can do outside of shooting them as singles? Probably more of a reloading/resizing question, but it is specific to my 99.

Thanks in advance,

Shawn

You could always seat the bullet deeper if you have a press and dies.
