See Deal300 Savage Ammo The 300 Savage Ammo is an impressive medium game cartridge that you can find in 150 or 180-grain weight projectiles.

The performance of the 300 Savage Ammo is based on three types of grain velocity. They include 2765 fps for a 150 grain, 2676 fps for a 165 grain, and 2503 fps for 180 grain.

We discovered that soft-jacketed bullets produce the fastest kills but on light games.
When you use 180-grain projectiles, the .300 Savage Ammo will offer you the best performance at close range. Unfortunately, it loses the ability to render fast-killing woods at 150 yards. However, you can extend the range to 300 yards when you utilize soft frangible bullets and achieve a remarkable difference..300 Savage For Sale
