Re: Let's shoot the 300 Savage. Let's do lots of shooting...

Nice report as usual Earl.

I found out a long time ago that if a person likes to target shoot a lot, full power loads are hard on brass, guns, shoulder's and powder inventory .

I have had good luck with the RCBS 150 PB in 32-20 TC and 30-30 in the 12 to 1400 fps range.

For me Lil Gun would be for top end loads only and I rarely go there,
