“The Model 99 was chambered for the .250/3000 Savage cartridge.“
No, it was originally chambered in .300 Savage. I actually have a couple boxes of factory ammo for it around here somewhere.

Actually, the .303 Savage was the first offering in the 99, I believe. Been a few years since I have even seen a cartridge, but it was a rimmed cartridge similar to a .30/30.

My upstate deer rifle is a 300 Savage. It has a little number wheel on the
side to tell you how many shells are in the rifle...pretty cool and deadly
accurate.
