Hello enlightened ones! Does anybody have a favorite load for a Savage 99 in 300? I have some 150 grain pointy things, and a LOT of 165 and 168 grain pointy things. Thanks guys.

I'm still using RL12. When I run out, I will probably switch to RL 15 which I use in all of my other 30 calibers.

So much for silly posts meant to be humorous. The op had a serious question. Does it occur others may be reading?

Most accurate load I've found for my 1948 EG is 40 grains of IMR-4064 under a 150 grain Winchester Power Point, or 150 Speer Spz. Velocity runs 2555 fps.

A Kodak moment: :lol:

38-39 grains of H4895 works well for 150s when you find the sweet spot for your rifle.

I likes 180 grain round nose over varget in mine. But I used it as a woods /walking gun. Dig a great job on deer and hogs.
