Hi ,I just bought an 81 in 300 sav , and reading that its not "strong " enough!!
I'll just be using factory ammo so.........Should I be worried???
Tales of blow ups etc. have me concerned. I hunt mostly deer and moose up here and ranges are usually less than 200 yds. Am I safe to go?? Thanks Wiley CANUCK, Jim

As long as your Model 81 is in good condition I don't see a problem. I have a Model 81 in 300 Savage and it shot fine with factory ammo. I even reload for it, with no issues other than light loads don't function the action.

I shoot factory Remington Core-Lokt's in 150 grain out of my .300 Savage with no problems.
In fact, dropped two deer this past season using them.
There's a picture of one of them somewhere in one of these forums.

I have yet to ever hear of or read about anyone that ever had a problem with an M81 and 300Savage ammo. I and many others on this forum have found them to shoot fine.
Does anyone really know of someone that had any kind of a problem with an M81 and 300Savage ammo?
Or is this just an ugly rumor, that seems to have recently started popping up?

Shoot away my friend. I intend too. And it's great that it is one of the two cartridges we can still find easily.
