I have a lot of factory ammo that my late father bought years ago .Most is probably from the 70s,and early 80s..I have a lot of Remington pointed soft point for 250 Savage,some boxes are Remington Express,and a few are Remington High Velocity.They look the same,so I'm pretty sure the are the same load.These shoot great from my old 99,but I don't have a chrono,and I wonder if they are still as potent as when new.How old does ammo have to be before it goes down hill?,and I've also noticed that the older boxes say that these are more of a varmit bullet.Are these also a pretty good whitetail bullet? ,or shoul I just stick with my hand loads?
