New life to an old gun

[stovepipe]

Hey guys. I recently ordered a box of 90 grain absolute hammer bullets to try in my ruger # 1 in 250 savage, I ran up the powder until I got very light primer flattening and then loaded up three and fired a group. (BAM) 1/2 " @ 100 yds. 3086 fps was hoping for more speed but that'll do. With plenty of bullets left I figured what the heck so I got out my old 722 Remington 257 roberts, I ran it up until I reached pressure, I backed off 1/2 grain and fired a group and got a 3/4" with a BR2 primer, switched to a fed 210m and fired another 3 shot group and got this. I am amazed at how easy it is to work up a load with these things

Hammer's are an absolute game changer

I ran the numbers on strelok and it says it's still running 1800 fps at 750 yards...that's great for a 257 roberts. I can't wait to see how that load works on critters

.250-3000 Savage was named for pushing an 85gr bullet at 3000fps. One of the early hot rods.

You are pushing a 90gr @ 3080+, you are cooking them. Great job.

I had a .250AI for years. I could run a 100SMK or 100 TSX @ 3100+, so that rifle is doing great.

I'll not lead you astray, The are devastating

First 250 savage I've had...I think it'll be a fine little deer rifle also

A friend of mine has a Savage 99 in 250 Savage. He loves it!

It's TRUE, near or far, they just wreck animals.

I've got a rem 700 300 wsm that I have never shot, I think I'll try the hammers in it ...just need to figure out which one would work best in that 3" magazine...any ideas?
