The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook contains numerous light loads. Personally, I use 25 grains of IMR4227 or H4227 and a 170 grain gas check bullet for a MV of around 2000 FPS, and is adequate to function the action of a Remington Model 81.
That's some good off hand shooting. The "Long range" thing is all the rage these days, but Ive never been one to follow trends. Love me some off hand shooting with iron sights. Best hunting practice in the world.
Yea you're right. I'm just a steel target shooter, and wanted to shoot my softer steel targets without damage. Also wanted to shoot with hard cast lead.
@@thenorthforty1032 Would you please share your load recipe? I want to make some target loads for my 300 Savage. I have ordered some 115 gr cast bullets and I have some Trail Boss powder.
Using the lighter bullets and charge makes sense for plinking but I've never thought the recoil of full power loads in mine as being bad at all. In fact , it's one of the desirable aspects of the .300 cartridge - low recoil in a 6.8lb rifle. I use 37 grains of 4064 with 165gr boat tails. Fine accuracy and a light kick. EDIT: I meant to write 7.8lbs - not 6.8lbs.

Good to see people enjoying shooting

nice video love the 300,, been shooting some 110gr with a light load. mostly to help with the recoil.
for more fun,use a shot timer and try hitting the same targets at faster and faster speeds. 99s are so underrated.
Would you be willing to share the number and make of the mold you cast with? Thank you.
I've been ordering them from the internet. Never got into casting.
You have a good setup.
300 savage really underrated
Yea, I wanted to zoom in a little so you could see the targets fall. Got a "Go Pro" for that now.
I reload them myself. Its pretty easy to learn. UA-cam has lots of great how to videos. Lee reloading
Products are great to start with.
Love it!
Great video sir.
Never thought my .300 kicked with a hotish load. I do love the 99. Put food on the table for years.

Where can I find the ammo that you used? I like the idea of low recoil loads. Thanks for the video.
I Make them myself with a lee loader kit I learned how to use watching youtube vids.

@@dalesearcy5734 ,I only have data for the 170g hard cast bullet which is 7g HP-38.
I have a model 99 300 Savage and am having a hard time finding Ammo. Where are there some a Available outlets at a reasonable cost?
I had trouble finding it when I first got it. I found some at a hardware store in the upper peninsula MI and have been reloading ever since.
Do a .303 british vs 300 Savage video next
I enjoy shooting low recoil loads in my 99 I use 12gr TrailBoss average 1450 FPS hit 3” plate all day
Nice elbow man! :)
Where can i obtain a 300 savage
The gun is a model99 savage in caliber .300 savage. Both are hard to come by these days, try looking where used guns are sold.
@@thenorthforty1032 i guess i will try for a 25 06 savage
that's called a "full buck horn" sight. and yours appears to be an EG model.
Thanks for the info, nice to know !
Esta arma es unas de las que mas me gusta son precisas
Me encantaria un video en spain

OutnBacker , Yea I agree, it was my first experience with a rifle. I still enjoy shooting rifle loads with it.
Lotsa fun. Time of flight in minutes per feet.
