My friend has a Savage 99 that he inherited but has never fired. It is stamped simply ".303" on the side. Safe in assuming this is .303 Brit, not some obsolete cartridge? Just making sure, since I know Savage had some proprietary rounds like .300 Sav and .250-3000. My friend nevr told me he had this rifle til yesterday, the spithead - I could have been borrowing and shooting it... :banghead:
