Newest 300 Savage Rifle Ammo at Wholesale Hunter

The 300 Savage was introduced in the Savage 99 in 1920. Based on the 250 Savage case necked up, it has a shorter (1.871-inch) case with more body taper than the 308 Winchester, so is not as poweful. However, the 308 Winchester would not appear for another 30 years. With a 150-grain bullet at 2630 feet per second and a 180-grain bullet at 2350, the 300 Savage was designed to offer "30-06-like" performance in the Savage 99 lever action. It compared favorably with 30-06 loads of the day and offered (and continues to offer) fine performance for deer, black bear, and elk at moderate range. Although not currently chambered in new rifles it has been chambered to numerous bolt-actions as well as the Savage 99, and many "deep woods" hunters still swear by it.
