250 Savage

whippoorwill · April 3, 2013, 04:26 PM

Just purchased a Ruger 77 RSI International in 250 Savage. The barrel is just a tad bit over 18 inches. Powders that I currently have on hand that might be useful in loading 100 grain bullets include Winchester 748 and IMR 4064. Any favorite recipes out there for either of these two powders? Or, when powder becomes available again, any favorite loads with other powders? I plan on using this for deer in Virginia. Thanks in advance!

WITH my SAV99 250-3000 carbine and the SAV99 rifle in 250-3000, no propellent was even close to delivering the speed and accuracy of H414 with 87 to 100 grain projectiles.
