My go to load for my Savage 99 is 36.5 grains of IMR 3031 with a Hornady 150 gr. Interlock SP. Now I am looking for some new bullets and Hornady makes a SST bullet just for the .300 Savage. It is a 150 gr. bullet, Item #30303. Just not sure it can be found easily at my usual sources. There is also Item #30302 which is also an SST, buy the #30303 will open up at typical .300 Savage velocities. Anybody out there have experience shooting SST bullets with their 99? Savage freaks want to know!

The big advantage with a 99 is spire point bullets. That's not the case with 30-30 bullets, right?
