 The .300 Savage
The.300 Savage was introduced in 1921 for the Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle and has since been chambered in many other rifles: bolt actions, pumps and semi-autos from Remington and Winchester, and bolt actions from Savage.
The.300 Savage has a shorter overall cartridge length of 2.6 inches compared to the.308's 2.8 inches, and because the.300's length was originally dictated by the length of the Model 99's magazine,.300 Savage bullets have to be seated more deeply than.308 Win.
While the.300 Savage is not ideal for heavyweight bullets, it can easily be loaded with lightweight varmint bullets from 110 through 130 grains, giving the round a lot of versatility.

 Battered Plaintiffs - injuries from hired guns and compliant courts, by Jean Lennane
The two main situations where hired guns are employed are in whistleblowing cases, when the employer wants to discredit and if possible get rid of the employee; and in Workers’ Compensation cases where the employee is claiming for a psychiatric injury, and the employer wants to avoid liability.
However many still do; some really have no choice but to try; some are caught up with ‘hired guns’ while still employed, forced by the threat of losing their jobs for refusing to obey a lawful order.
In this situation the employee is usually claiming for post-traumatic stress disorder, and the hired gun’s task is to show that he/she does not or could not have such a condition, despite in some cases the precipitating event having been extraordinarily traumatic by normal standards, e.g.
