190 at 2,100fps exceeds the old .303 Savage original factory 190gr. load by quite a bit.

"Firerams of the American West 1866-1894" shows a picture of a couple BEAR hunters 'Out West' with their kill - grizzlies. One of them is packing an early pre-94 Savage lever gun - which it's chambered for the .303 Savage. I'd personally prefer one of my large ctgs. but today, the game is much tougher - isn't it?

Factory levels listed by COTW are 180 at 2,140fps and 190 at 1,890fps.
