.300 caliber savage99

[AWS]

Bookworm is your 99 a 250-3000 or 300 Savage?  All of the older 250's had a 1-14 twist and are marginal at stabilizing the 100gr factory load, they work best with 87gr flatbase bullets.  Some days I think Savages rifleing machine got out of whack and there are some 250's out there that are 1-15.  My 250 hates 100gr factory loads but comes on real nice with 75's and 87's.  I have Savages 1899 & 99's in 25-35, 250-3000, 308 and 375 Win.  Love the old girls.  I also shoot a Rem 722 in 300 Savage.

Mine is a 300 savage. Just haven't had any time to get out to the range lately. I will get it figured out sooner or later.

Man I would sure like to fine a newer stock for mine as well.  I inherited it from my father in-law.  It's been in their family for many years (Montana).  IT started out as my wife's grandmothers gun.  The original stock was too long for it so her grandfather cut off probably 2-3" of it.  then it became he moms gun.  then she got it in high school.  She has shot more deer and antelope with it than me.  then I got it and killed my first mulley with it... Pretty cool

I found that 165 grains works best for grouping...
