Looking for 300 savage loads.

[J257]

I just picked up a 99 in 300 and was wondering what loads you boys rifles liked for deer or plinking.

[camp]

Currently running a lyman 311466 over 9.5 grns of 700x, waiting for nice weather to chrono but im getting great groups at 100 yds

[J257]

I've gotta ask - what's great. Two inches?

[camp]

[camp]

Thar is at 110yds out of my savage 99 .300

[camp]

funny looking bullet but shoots really well for me. Im also having the same groups with the 118 grn in the pic that i plan on using on groundhogs

[J257]

That looks great. Man, I hope to get mine shooting that well. What do you size to and what is your powder coat process?

[camp]

Shake and bake powder, put on gas check then size to .309

[J257]

Thanks Camp, That's the kind of stuff I wanted to hear and see.

My '99 in 300 Savage seem to like Hornaday brass, Winchester's large rifle primers , hornaday's 150 grain SST bullets and 40.8 grains of H4895. Gives me right at a 2 inch 3 shot group at 200 yards.

I've got a bunch of 20-30 year old WW-Super brass, also use cut-off LC85. For antelope - 44 g Varget, 150 grain Hornady Interlock, Fed 210Match in WW-SUPER; for 200 yard fun 311332 at .310 over 20-24 grains Reloder 7 with CCI200 in LC85; 100 yards and less, rapid fire and offhand drills - 150 RCBS at .310 18 grains 4227 and CCI200 in LC85.

MostlyLeverGuns, You ever kill anything with those cast loads? That 311332 load looks like it's worth giving a try.
