About LinkBacksGreetings Pushover,Originally Posted by Pushover
By chance I was reading one of the old issues of Handloader last night and spotted an article by John Barsness on loading the Savage cartridges. He suggested that the Hornady 75 grain V-MAX, 100 grain spitzer flat base and 117 grain round nose are worth trying. He also cautioned that some 99 250 Savage rifles twists vary either side of 14" and may not stabilise anything longer than the 87 grain Hornady or Speer spitzer flat base. The 90 grain HPBT projectiles may or may not stabilise, measuring the twist in each rifle could help. Unfortunately Hornady seems to have dropped both the 87 and 100 grain projectiles. The Hodgdon/ADI data shows over 2,900 fps with AR2209 and the 100 grain projectiles so the cartridge is no slug. Happy experimenting.
Regards Grandpamac.
