I need some help from my old lever friends. I was fortunate enough to acquire a nice Savage Model 99F in 284 Winchester. Its a 1966 model and looks in nice shape. I have been looking for this caliber in either the Model 88 or 99 for some time and I finally found one I could afford.
I paid $600 for it, and what I continue to hear is this is a good price for a decent issue. Available 284s are getting more rare to find, for the few that are out there.
I went through the loading manuals and IMR 4350 appears to be the loaders choice along with a 140 grain bullet. Does anybody have any recommendations for a successfull load they have use?? :-)
