The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 250 Savage, also called 250-3000, was designed for Savage Arms by Charles Newton. Introduced in 1915, it was the first commercial cartridge to reach 3000 feet per second, and as such made quite a stir! Although only rarely chambered in new rifles today, the 250 Savage was an extremely popular chambering the Savage 99 lever action, and has been chambered to numerous bolt-action rifles as well. Although the 87-grain bullet is able to reach 3000 feet per second, the wisdom of time suggested this bullet is too light for big game. The current standard loading of a 100-grain bullet at 2820 feet per second, available from both Remington and Winchester, remains an extremely effective choice for pronghorns and deer-sized game out to at least 250 yards or so.
