Thread: 250-3000 (250 Savage)

A friend has a savage takedown model 99 in this cal it's a beauty and yes the twist is 14 and the std weight was 87 grains at 3000 fps and the speed was a real point of difference. A 100 grain bullet was also available but doesn't do the magic 3000.
Winchester still make ammo for this I believe, or you could neck up 22/250. There is a reasonable selection of 25 cal bullets available. Sierra make a whole range of 25 cal bullets from 70 to 120 so do speer. 100 is probably as heavy as you would want to go though.
Use it and you will grow to love it.
