Has anyone shot 165 grain ammo for the 300 Savage? I’m thinking about trying this. I have factory ammo in 150 & 180 grain, but have never found 165 grain.

I loaded some 165 accubond's. My rifle didn't seam to care for any accubond really. Unless there's some there's some old old loaded stuff out there from years gone by. Double Tap and Choice Ammo is all that I'm aware of loaded with nything 165.

For any of y’all shooting a 99 in .250 Savage, are you able to get 100gr. projectiles (specifically the 100gr. Partition) to stabilize in the original 1:14 twist? Think the 99s went to a 1:10 in the 1960s.
