300 Savage History and Uses:
The 300 Savage was developed in 1920 and introduced in 1921. This cartridge isn’t as popular as other 30 caliber centerfire rifle cartridges, but it is ballistically similar to cartridges like the .308 Winchester.
The 300 Savage is an excellent medium game cartridge that is available in 150 or 180 grain weight projectiles.
