I believe, but am not 100% certain, that all .303s had cast brass shell carriers.

I would concur, if there are any steel .303 Savage carriers, they would be extremely rare (or possibly "homemade"). Savage switched from brass to steel carriers after WW II (if my info is correct) and didn't make any .303s after WWII. I've learned that when dealing with firearms, its not wise to use never" because when you do, someone will come up with an exception.
so, what I'll say is that my sources indicate Savage made very few, if any .303s and .30-30 model 99s after WWII. And, if they did make any, with new parts the new carrier would have been steel rather than brass.
I'll keep looking/asking around, if anything suitable is found, I'll post here.
Good Luck!
