The 300 Sav. was the parent case the 308 Win. was developed from so if you want to convert some brass back to 300 Sav. it's perfectly fine.

I was given a good quantity of both LC X51 and .308 brass and it was just much easier to convert it to 300 Sav. than go to the trouble of trying to sell or trade it off for 300 Sav. brass.

I use the thicker LC brass for cast load and the thinner 308 Win. brass for J bullets,it's about as simple a conversion as it gets. Just reform and trim to the correct length,works great in my Sav. 99.
