I have a 300 Savage bolt action that I have been playing with. Have had good results with H4895 and 150gr Remington Core-locts. It's a hunting rifle so I haven't tried any match bullets. I did acquire a box of 130gr Hornadys that want to try out.
Hi everyone. I finally bought myself a minty 1946 model 99 in 300 Savage, and I was wondering if you could share some of your pet handloads with me. I plan to shoot this rifle at the range, with a 200 yard max range and also to be my main dear rifle. So, how about teaching me something ??

I have two old lever action model 99,s in 300 savage. My and i used h4895 and imr 4064 powders with either 150gr. or 165gr round nose or spiter bullets. At 100yds. dad could cover three shots with a dime off the bench.
Can you remember how much of IMR4064 you used ?
37.0 grs. imr 4064 with 165 grn. r. nose
Thank you !
Check your cases after you resize them for length, and in the chamber before you prime them. Sometimes the shoulder on the case needs pushed back. I learned the hard way and loaded up a box and the action wouldnt close.Also check loaded rounds for oal that they eject freely out of magazine.
