I think maybe you can form brass from .30-30 brass, though it comes out just a tad shorter than spec, or from .38-55. Search the internet, there are some videos out there. Redding makes some oddball forming dies, might have something of use to you. I think you have a rare and magical rifle there, still among the best for the deep woods, especiall if black bear is on your menu. Overall,the Savage 99 was the best lever action ever made: you can mount a scope or other optical sight and you can use spitzer bullets, because the catridgesa aren't stacked end to end in the magazine. My great Uncle wore out a .303 before WWI subsistence hunting, then bought a .300. Only rifle he ever used.Hello everyone my grandfather recently passed amd I was willed this gun. What should I do? The ammo is pretty rare amd the brass are as well. Should I trade,sell, or just store the gun. I have not gone to pick it up
