My brothers step son inherited a Savage 99f manufactured in 1958. It's chambered in 300 Savage with a 22" barrel. The gun is at the Gunsmith right now gettting cleaned and the trigger touched up. My brother asked if I would do a load work up and it shocked me as I started my load research. That dang cartridge can keep up with or best the 308! My load data used 22" barrels for both but the 300 had a 1 in 10 and 308 1 in 12 twist rate. What is the twist rate of the 99f. I'm planing on starting with Sierrra spbt 150gr. bullets but since he's in Pa and I'm on the left coast I want to cut dowm my load work up time.
