    The Nosler 250 gr AB at 2510 fps makes a decent crater.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    It has a 9 in it so it must be good.

    It has a ".", a 6, a 2, an x, a 3 and a 9 in it. All it needs is a 7 in front.

    Well got the old girl back together again and out at the range today
    100 meters 65.3 grains of 2209 with 286gn Hornady SP-RP
    Group shot in two parts as I had difficulty believing the first two and had to go look,
    then settled for the other two and stuffed it up, still happy enough at 100 m for a 50+ year old rifle

    Yep go for it they work so much better than the paper ballistics indicate. Jakewire my Husky shoots just the same as yours with that 65+gr load not the fastest but all bullets touching at 100. I will take accuracy over a few extra fps anyday.
