What bullets would recommend for 300 savage? I have been shooting remington 150 factory and it has done me well. I going to start reloading for it and wanted to get some of your opinions and experiences. Any and all comments are welcome.
Thanks

I am using 165gr Hornady Interlocks and RL-15 with good results. Handloader Magazine #209 has an excellent article on loading for the .300 Savage if you can find it.

I would use the same 150 to 180 grain bullets that I would choose for the .308 Winchester. Nosler Partitions for game heavier than deer, Nosler BT's or equivalent for deer & below.

The other posts are correct. However consider buying Remington Corelokts! You can get them from grafs.com and midway and they cost less than other bullets (bulk pack) and shoot just as good.

I would rate a Remington Corelokt at the top of the list for reliable performance on deer. Something else might be tied for first but the Corelokt is the standard in my book. The only other brand that has been perfect in my use has been the one Speer bullet that I use.

Don Martin and I think alike on this one. I've found the Rem. bullets to perform very well at 300 Savage velocities. The 150 grain spitzer is my preference for deer and I have also used the same weight round nose which is most often used for 30WCF with excellent results. I have found some other bullet makes to be a little heavily constructed for this cartridge for use on deer.

I shoot 165 rem core lokts out of my 99. They work very well on deer.

Rem Corelokts are excellent bullewts, very reasonably priced, and also much under-rated by most of us who seem intent on using the high-priced Premiums all the time!! [Big Grin]

I have found problems with inconsistancy in the location of the crimping groove on Remington bullets, as have some others according to AR posts. My experience is limited to only a couple of different bullets, but it creates havoc when attempting to crimp. If you are shooting a gun which does not need crimped ammuntion, this may or may not be as much problem.

You don't say what your quarry is, which makes a lot of difference, but assuming deer-sized game, any available 150 grain should serve you nicely.
