Savage 99's
I've owned several in 250-3000 all with a 1-14 twist even a 99a carbine that wasn't supposed to. The best bullets with the shortest ogive are Speer both 87gr and 100gr. Safe 99 loads [Ken Waters...Pet loads] 34.5gr of IMR 4895 for the 87gr and 30gr of IMR3031 for the 100gr. Both easily shot under an inch at 100 yards scoped. Killed deer with both bullets. The old pulled 100gr CIL KKSP's also would shoot well out of 1-14". My never sell .250 is a Rem 700 Classic using a Win 760 load too warm for 99's but it shot a .123" group with 100gr Sierras.FL size quality 22-250 brass .I prefer a Hornady die for this as they have a more tappered expander button and case loss is zero.
