mother lode

these Savage 22hp bullets have not been made for at least 30yrs, 1200 pcs, plus another 400 of hornady 70gr .227 diameters, I should go buy a lottery ticket

Other than being old what makes them special? Are they designed for a particular/special rifle?
I don't know much about Savage except I'd love to own a .300 or 250-3000 with the brass round counter.
Thanks

Score big time congrats

the Savage 22hp was introduced in 1912, 70gr .227 diameter bullet, was a big hit, is very similar to the 25-35, the 30-30 can be necked down to reload, I have lot of brass, now I can pass on 3 Savage 22hp's with bullets to grandsons, also have a 22hp over 16ga.
this is one of two that are take downs, the third is solid receiver

Okay, would you kindly cut it out!

Ok now I understand, very nice.

I’ve never heard of it.....

Congrats that is very cool and useful find. Interesting bit of history you have there.

Nice

I had one of my 22hp's to a ackey improved, anxious to load for it and see what it will do, the 22hp is at 2800 fps, ai should be a tad better

My youngest nephew harvested his first deer when he was 7 with my Savage 99 with Stith mounts and 2.5 Weaver in 22 Savage High Power that was I believe 14 years ago. Remember it like it was yesterday always love a chance to show off the picture.

Thats a happy boy right there! Looks like a great round thanks for sharing. First I heard of it

James, thats great, I had a 22hp several years ago, sold it, then wished I hadn't, looked for 12years, found one, then in less than a week found two more, one is solid receiver (very rare) also have a 22hp over a 16ga thats neat, need to shoot some paper to see how it does. now have plenty of bullets to reload.

Cool. If you run across any 250-3000 let me know

Nice

Nice!
