I have searched all over the web looking for info on creating a light plinking load for my 1952 Savage 99 in .300 Savage. I have developed a great hunting load using the .300 Savage Hornady 150 gr SST and Varget but really want a light load for plinking and fun shooting similar to a friends .38/357 lever gun. Fun to shoot, light recoil, and affordable components.
Since I do not cast bullets at this time I was looking at MBC's #2 Whitetail 135 gr lead noted to be for 30-30 rifles. Any thoughts on this bullet?
Anyone else have a bullet proven to work the the 99 in .300 Savage? Warnings, cautions, things I need to watch as I develop the load?
Thanks for any help.
