I am pulling my Grandfather's old model 1899 out of the safe for the whitetail season this fall.

Slug your bore to see what diameter you have, some of the older 303 Savages were actually .311 diameter, later versions were .308 diameter.
If you have one that has a .311 bore, you can shoot bullets designed for the 303 British, they have .311 and .312 diameter bullets.
