[QUOTE="huffmanite, post: 425487, member: 26864"] I have a 1936 Mexican mauser action sporter, chambered in 300 Savage. A fine old cartridge that was suitable for my particular action. Rifle shoots a littler better than 1" groups at 100 yards. Chuck Hawks wrote, "the 300 Savage offers good killing power, adequate trajectory, and relatively mild recoil. At ordinary hunting ranges it is adquate for almost all game for which a .30 (cal) should be used." It was the 300 Savage cartridge the U.S. military experimented with to come up with the 7.62x51 NATO/308 Win cartridge to replace the 30-06. [/QUOTE]
