303 Savage Pet Loads

[Northern Canuck]

I just purchased a supply of 303 savage brass and now need a load to use. Looking to piggyback on others findings. My rifle is a Savage model 99. I am not looking to do a whole bunch of shooting with it, more for nostalgic reasons.

I just recently posted here asking the same question, look up my recent posts, a lot of members shared some loads, lots of great info! I also just picked up an old Lyman reloading manual, they had the 303savage listed in the obsolete rounds section, this manual is from the '60s, was considered obsolete even then. Glad to see there's still some of us willing to keep this great round alive. Straight shooting, Dogger
