as a 99 shooter I do just have to point out that when the 99 action was modified to take the 308 win family of cartridges it was lengthened and upgraded to the nominal 50,000Cu or 60/62,000psi that was the SAAMI spec for the 308 group. Vs the 45,000 Cu of the 300 Sav family.
nb. I have seen in NZ for sale 300 Sav that had been reamed out to 308. You just can't use the longer big bullet OAL 308 cartridges as they won't fit in the mag. (Lets just ignore the minor over pressure issues for now)
