Savage 99c question

[Isher]

A very long time ago, I had a 99c.

The gun stuck with me.

OK. So I wandered by my local today,

And there is a 99c in well worn but good condition.

Its date of birth was 1910.

Got the octagon back half of the barrel,

And the round front half,

Plus the semicircular cast buttplate.

All of my guns are shooters.

So my question is,

Can I shoot anything near to modern ammo in it,

Or am I just dreaming.

If it a collector I will just walk away;

What I am after is an everyday shooter.

factory ammo is loaded to set pressures, so the 99 will shoot current factory loadings without a problem assuming the gun functions as designed. what cartridge is the rifle chambered in?
