Bought myself a cool old savage 99.
I guess its an EG model. 24 inch barrel schnaubel forend, and a very cool old Redfield peep sight.
I bought 2 boxes of winchester 150 grain Power points to try in her, but I seldom shoot factory ammo as I just want the brass.
With the peep sight , at least for awhile , I plan to limit my shots to 150 yards, and indeed that might be optimistic till I see what I can do.
I have a box each of 150 grain sierra and speer and 1 box of 170 grain hornady flat point 30/30 bullets.
I think they would be dandy for getting started.
I think driven to speeds in the 2500 FPS ball park they should give good game performance, especially the 170 grain hornady.
Anybody tried loading these bullets up a little over the intended velocity ? if so how did they do ?
thanks...tj3006
