What bullet, powder, primer combo would you use for the 250 Savage?The older I get the more I like the idea of a .250 Savage.
But proly cheaper to go w a 6.5 Grendel
Now a Ruger #1 in that would be cool.
That would be a really sweet load in a bolt action or single shots. Unfortunately, a lot of the Savage 99s in .250 savage have twists too slow to stabilize longer monometal bullets. I had to drop all the way down to 85 grain Sierras in mine to find a bullet it liked. I'm not real keen on shooting a big buck with that bullet but it should be ok at .250 Savage velocity.Id proly go with:
Winchester brass and primer
Varget powder
Barnes bullet
If I'm gonna reload might as well step up from cup n core.
