I have my Grampa's Savage 99 take down in .303 Savage. Found some .303 savage brass. From what I've read there isn't other brass it can be made from. Slugged the barrel @ .308" and have been using .309 lead bullets so far. It is fun to shoot. I need to get some 159gr SPs for deer hunting this fall.

I heard a story once that wheel guns are fading into the sunset in favor of plastic auto's. After seeing these all I can say is, what the heck is the matter with people?
Sweet Pistols.
I hear you about them being dirty, mine was really bad when it came. But it did clean up great.
