303 Savage

Anyone have any experience with one? Just saw a Savage 99 chambered in 303 Savage for sale and it just caught my attention.

Its an excellent cast bullet cartridge. A friend has a rather nice 1899A that shoots superbly with cast. Case capacity is similar to 30-30, but with a slightly larger diameter case. 303s were originally loaded with 190gr bullets vs the lighter 170gr and less for the 30-30s. Brass should be available through Graf in the Prvi Partisan guise.
