Anyone loading for the 250 Savage

Looking for a few cast bullet loads for the 250 Savage

I'll post some loads when I get home tomorrow. One of the very best cartridges ever IMO.

The only boolit I have tried was the 258-464, which shot very far from zero, but fairly accurately over 13 grains of 2400--1 1/2" at 50 yards.
Mine is an older, 1-14 twist barrel Savage 99 that won't shoot anything over 90 grains. It really only seems to like 87 grain Hornady's and varget, 3031, or ww 748. I have yet to find a load that groups closer than 1 1/2 ".

Lyman 257418 is the only mold I have. It cast a 102 gr bullet for me. is a cast check design.

I load for the .250 Sav in both a Sav mdl 16 and a Ruger 77.

The Sav 16 likes a Saeco 100g boolit in front of 14.3g of Reloder 7. Velocity is 1695 fps and Sd of 15. It shot a 1.085" 5 shot group@100 yds in a CBA match on 7/24/16.
The Ruger 77 is more of a "safe queen", and I haven't shot it for about 5 years now. Last time out it put 3 shots in .709" @100 yds with 9.5g of Unique. Velocity was 1655 with an sd of 8. Boolit was Cramer 55A which is a nominal 100g boolit.
