Default Savage 99's

The four I've owned were all capable of 1" at 100 yards.Reloading the .300 Savage is straight forward .For the 150gr bullet 42gr-Win 748........165gr bullet 41gr-Win 748 and the 180gr bullet 40gr-Win 748 all with magnum primers as this is a ball powder.The forend can be tuned for accuracy by either a blob of glass bedding at the tip[the last inch] or by inserting a flap off an ammo box the correct size in the bedding channel or cut an old credit card as a shim..Then play with the tightness by adjusting the forend screw.The Savage 99 should be a 1-12" twist.
