I was not able to use the 300 savage this season, but was able to take 4 deer this year with my 7-30.

As I stated above, I used the Sierra 120 grain spitzer with IMR 4895. Only one ran from a high lung shot, about 50 yards. The other dropped where they were.

I have no plans on trying other powders or bullets with this caliber. I found what seems to work well beyond my abilities and do not plan to fix what ain't broke.

This round has definitely become my favorite of the 8 barrels I have in the contender.

Hope you had fun this season, I did.

Now it's time to start planning the sausage making.

I too would not fix what aint broke. Sounds like you had a great season. Yes the 7-30 Waters makes an amazing Handgun Cartridge. I have had a 10" 7-30 Waters, but never a Super 14. On the other hand I have had a Super 14 .30-30 AI, which I also really liked.

I am going to be getting a new Super 14 Stainless-Steel Barrel in the not to distant future. The hardest part is going to be choosing between these two great cartridges.
