Hmmm... I wonder if a 200 grain bullet would work in the .250? I bet that sucker would penetrate to a fare-thee-well! Probably need about a 1-4" twist to stabilize it.
I loaded another handful of .300's with 210 grain cast bullets. Too long to run through the magazine of my 1920 but still curious to see if I can get them to work. The last time I got 2" groups which is just fine for hunting. If I can squeeze 1800 fps with decent accuracy I'm good to go (considering the .303 with factory 190s don't get much past that out of a 20" barrel). Magazine feeding is the biggest bugabear to solve. Too slow of a terminal velocity for reliable expansion with a 220 grain jacketed bullet, but a soft cast lead bullet is a horse of another color, with helacious penetration to boot. I can't remember the last time I bought a .30 jacketed bullet, let alone a round of factory ammo, and I shoot thousands of shots a year.
