    I have a 250-300 and 300 Savage in EG model for both. The 99's were way ahead of their time and overlooked today which is a shame. I still occasionally take them out deer hunting. Thanks for your video on a great little cartridge.

      Thanks for your comments! I too love that cartridge, and you're right about the 99s - a classy rifle.

      Thanks for your comments! They are a truly great rifle and very versatile. They were ahead of their time with the ability to use pointed bullets.

    I currently have three Savage model 99 rifles. 1952 99EG in 250-3000, 1955 99F in 300 Savage and 1972 99F in 308 Winchester. Until around 1960 or 61 the barrel twist rate for the 250-3000 was 1/14. Those barrels would not stabilize bullets weighing over 100 grains except for a few round nose bullets. In the later edition the twist was changed to 1/10. Those will stabilize the 120 grain spritzer bullets. If you research you will find some published reloading data for the 250-3000 that shows the 100 grain bullets can be pushed to 3000 fps with some powders in the Model 99. Approach those loads with extreme caution. Happy hunting boys and girls!😊

    Excellent video. One observation. There is a parent cartridge, and it is the 30-06. According to most historical references Newton used a shortened 30-06 for his creation. The cartridges share the same rim diameter of .473, and the base of the 250 is .469, basically a tapered 30-06 which is .471.

    Beautiful gun. Looks just like mine. Greatest coyote calling gun ever. Most people don't realize 99's are controlled-round-feed actions. Perhaps a demonstration in a future vid is in order. Thanks!

      Thanks for your comments, and the suggestions! Right now I don't have rifles in those calibers, but have thought about featuring a number of calibers on their own in a video.

      As they call them odd ball calibers now days but i just think they are over looked. I have ammo for all the ones I do own. Only missing 5 of the calibers in the savage 99

      Thanks for your kind words! You won't be disappointed if you manage to get a 99. In my opinion, the 99s have the best ergonomics of all the lever guns.

    I have 5- a .22 hi power, a 250-3000 and 3 .300 Savage. They are addictive. Looking for a .303 Saveage. I've never collected anything until I saw one of these. Better looking than Rita Hayworth.

      Thanks for your comment!
      It's not really a 300 Savage necked down.
      Can 250 Savage be formed from 300 Savage? - Yes, but....
      If you say it's just a 300 necked down to 250, then the entire history of the cartridge is lost, and puts the cart before the horse.
      The 250 Savage was developed 5 years before the 300 Savage.
      It was developed from the 30-06, shortened, necked down etc.
      The 300 Savage was developed from the 250, not the other way around. It has the neck enlarged to 308, different shoulder, base and case length dimensions.
