[cosmic]

IMR 4064 and Hornady SP 165's in my Rem 760 pump... (Load data for the 300 Savage varies wildly, the 4064 seems to wring the most velocity out for 150 to 165 grainers.)

Savage 99 F 42 grs IMR4064 & a CCI200 sparker under a Horn 150 gr SST bullet ! RJ

 

[HIGHRPM]

In my Savage 99, my most accurate load was a M80 pull down bullet- 150 grain FMJ, with 40.0 grains of IMR4895, Winchester large primer with a COL of 2.585. Average speed was 2632 and very tight groups.

My other 300 Savage load in the Savage 16 bolt gun above is ...

44 grains of IMR4064 with a Speer 150 grain Grand Slam at 2800 fps.

 

[Eagleye]

I have a Remington 700 "Classic" chambered in 300 Savage. This rifle is uncommonly accurate for an unmolested factory rifle.
Pet load is: C.I.L. "Dominion" case [most capacity of any 300 Savage case], CCI 200, 46 grains of Reloder 15, 150 Partition.
This yields 2860 fps and groups in the .4 moa area. Kills very well, indeed. Dave.
