Think about the .250 Sav vs. the .257 Wby for a moment, since the OP mentioned that the Wby round was so much "better".

Everyone knows that the screamin' .257 Wby will slam any big deer to the ground at 400 yards.

Well, then the 250 Sav will do the exact same thing at 100 yards, because the exact same bullet is going about 2500 fps with about 1400 ft. lbs. of energy at the point of impact.

In fact, the .250 Sav will do better at 100 yards because I can shoot a smaller group and place my shot better at 100 yards with my old M-1920 or my 99 than I can with my Wby at 400, not even factoring in wind or animal movement.

As others have said, sometimes just enough can be just right. The .250 Sav is also a very good varmint gun and much more pleasant to use for that than the Wby or the other quarter-bores. Use what you like, want, or think you need, but have fun.
