Hornady Superperformance ammo in a Savage 99

[6.5x55swm]

I just picked up a Savage 99 in 308 win and was wondering if anyone has any issues using hornady superperforance ammo in a 99, I have a few boxes of the stuff for my bolt action 308 and it works great. I know hornady that it has normal chamber pressure, just asking for your 2cents

I've use it in my 99e lightweight carbine in .300 sav and despite hornady's claims, there is an increase in recoil.No function issues.Accuracy wise, mine doesn't like it. Love the 99.A .308 would be the cat's azz imo.

its safe to use . lots of flex in that rear locking action. hot loads in a 99 tend to be hard on brass if you care.

I do plan on reloading for it next year, just picked up a lee loader kit

just tried the hornady stuff in my 99 and the best group I could get was 5", scope is a new Nikon

I've got a .243 bolt action that doesn't like it either
