Sorry, didn't read the other posts before responding.
I used Speer 70 grain and Sierra 55 & 63 grain bullet out of a 20" Savage 99
when .228 bullets were unavailable.
You will need to take out your expander or neck size the Savage case in
a .22/250 sizing die.
Accuracy with iron sights was about as good as .228 bullets
