Unlike the .303 British's .311-inch bullet, the .303 Savage is a true American .30-caliber using a .308-inch bullet. Ballistics are extremely similar to its contemporary Winchester cartridge, the famous .30-30, which it preceded by a year. The .303 Savage was The .303 Savage is a rimmed, .30 caliber rifle cartridge developed by the Savage Arms Company in 1894 which was designed as a short action cartridge for their popular Savage Model 99 hammerless lever-action rifle. The cartridge was designed for smokeless powder, and was a popular sporting cartridge until replaced by the much faster .300 Savage in 1920. The rotary magazine of the Savage action allowed use of spitzer bullets, so the .303 Savage has a ballistic advantage over the .30-30, but despite Arthur Savage's best efforts it never became as popular. —
