Savage 99A in 250

Hello. Anyone know the approximate value of a Savage Model 99A lever actioin in 250 Savage? Light wear, I'd say 95%. Made in the mid 1970s.

Re: reloading 30-06 questions

I pretty much just use IMR 4064 with 150gr bullets; IMR4350 with 180 and 200gr bullets.

You really don't need anything else, but I've also had excellent results with IMR 4320.

Re: Winchester 94

Thanks for the input all. Yea it's unfired, but no box or papers. Was just curious on the value knowing it was not a pre-64.

Re: 30-06 Favorite Loads

Another load for 180gr bullets is 48gr of IMR4064. I've used Speer RN bullets many times with that and they are accurate as well as deadly on WI Whitetails.

Re: 30-06 Favorite Loads

56gr is pretty standard in IMR4350 and listed as a max load in most manuals. Sometimes more. I know Ken Waters, in his books listed as getting the best accuracy with 55gr, and that makes sense.

Re: 30-06 Favorite Loads

56gr of IMR4350 and a 180gr Sierra Spitzer
51 or 52gr of IMR4064 and any 150gr Spitzer
48gr or IMR4320 and a 150gr Hornady Spire Point for a mild and accurate load

I use a Remington 700BDL in 30/06. I've hunted in SD, MT, WI and MI. I mostly hunt in WI these days. I've used both 150gr and 180gr depending on the circumstances but frankly it usually doesn't...

Re: Trap & skeet shooting

Ruger Red Label. New will be more than $1K. But there are always some on ********* or AuctionArms for less than a grand. I've seen many go in the $800 range sometimes up to a grand.

Re: Whats up with savage 340.

I found out how....you pull the trigger as you pull the bolt back. Simple, but I've never felt comfortable pulling the trigger on a gun I didn't want to fire.

Re: Anybody have factory load data for 30-06 Remington 150gr PSP Core Lokt ammo?

FYI
Many years ago, I'm told Remington used IMR 4064 for 110gr, 150gr and 180gr loads.

A couple of years ago I pulled a 180gr round nose bullet out of a factory case. That load was very accurate...
