    300 Savage test loads

    Has anyone ever loaded these 150gr Barnes in 300 Savage? I am going to try them and see how they do.

    These were in my cart recently at MidwayUSA but I removed them before I placed my order. Designed to expand at .30/30 velocities it might be interesting to push it a bit faster. I want to play with these at some point but at the moment my only .30/30 is a bolt action. I’ve got some of the 130gr TTSX I want to play with in that rifle first. Be interested to see how they shoot and perform for you.

    I went with IMR 4064 on these. Should be around 2300fps. I am really interested to see how they shoot.

    I would really like to try these in my Winchester 94 30-30 too.

    I was impressed too. I have never had the best results with Barnes bullet. That was 36gr of IMR 4064.

    I shot my 30-30 today, 150gr Barnes shot well. Also had good luck the 170gr Noslers, and 125gr Sierra HP.
