The .303 Savage is a rimmed, .30 caliber rifle cartridge developed by the Savage Arms Company in 1894, which was designed as a short (as short as the .30-30 Winchester) action cartridge for their Savage Model 99 hammerless lever-action rifle. The cartridge was designed for smokeless powder at a time when black-powder cartridges were still popular.
