Description
The .300 Savage is one of those cartridges that never really got the credit it deserved, and finding quality brass for it can be a chore. Hornady solved that problem here with new, unprimed cases made to the same standard as the brass behind their loaded ammunition. Each piece arrives fresh and unfired, ready for you to prime, drop a powder charge, and seat your bullet of choice.
What Sets This Hornady .300 Savage Brass Apart
Hornady runs their cases through a real battery of checks, testing wall concentricity, wall thickness, and pressure before the brass ever leaves the plant. Tight concentricity means the bullet sits square in the case and releases evenly on firing, which is exactly what you want for consistent velocity and tighter groups. Uniform wall thickness is something benchrest crowds have obsessed over for decades, and it carries over to hunting loads just the same.
Reloading the .300 Savage With Hornady Cases
This cartridge shares its case head with the .30-06, but the shorter body and stubby neck were designed to feed through the rotary magazine of the Savage Model 99. If you're loading for a 99, most folks full-length resize and pay close attention to overall length, since that rotary mag and the chamber both like a cartridge kept close to spec, generally right around 2.6 inches. Starting with fresh, uniform brass takes a big variable out of the equation and helps you avoid the case-life headaches that come from stretched or mismatched hulls.
Who Gets the Most Out of This .300 Savage Brass
Whether you're feeding an old Model 99 that's been in the family for generations or a bolt gun chambered in this classic .30-caliber, this brass gives you a clean foundation to build accurate deer loads. The .300 Savage still hits hard on whitetail and other medium game inside 300 yards, with manageable recoil that makes range work pleasant. New cases like these are getting harder to track down, so it's smart to grab them when you see them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this .300 Savage brass primed and ready to shoot?
No, these are new unprimed cases, meaning they are a reloading component and not loaded ammunition. You'll need to prime them with a large rifle primer, add your powder charge, and seat a .308-diameter bullet before firing. Think of them as a clean, uniform starting point for building your own loads.
Will this Hornady brass work in a Savage Model 99?
Yes, the .300 Savage was designed around the Model 99's rotary magazine, so this brass is a natural fit. When loading for a 99, most reloaders full-length resize and keep the cartridge overall length close to 2.6 inches for reliable feeding. Paying attention to case length and sizing helps keep function smooth through that rotary mag.
What primer size does the .300 Savage take?
The .300 Savage uses a large rifle primer. It shares its case head dimensions with the .30-06 Springfield, which is one reason handloaders have long appreciated the cartridge. Just be sure to match your primer, powder, and bullet data to a trusted reloading manual.
How many cases come in a box of this Hornady .300 Savage brass?
Each box holds 50 new unprimed cases. That's a solid amount to work up a load and still have plenty left for a season of hunting or range time. Since new .300 Savage brass has become tougher to find, many folks pick up more than one box when they can.
