Phil,

I actually got this 250 savage load for "Steelhead". I only use the thinner Winchester cases for loading the Hornady 117 gr SST just for the 40.0 charge of H-4831sc. The load is very compressed to the point I have to re-seat the bullets the night before hunting but no pressure issues at all.

My load using the Hornady 117 gr round nose is 39.5 of H-4831sc. This bullet is shorter than the 117 gr SST not having the compression issues. Accuracy with the 117 gr round nose is under .6 for 3 shot groups.

I will likely try the Hornady 117gr spire point BT this spring to eliminate the compressed load using the 117 gr SST.

My 250-3000 rifle has been extremely accurate with every Hornady bullet I have tried including the Hornady 100 gr which is now gone using 34.5 grs of Reloader 15. I have 300 rounds loaded with the Hornady 100 gr inter lock which will last me a while.

I am a Hornady slut....
