Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Savage 250-3000, year built and twist in Bbls?

Here's a link to a required barrel twist calculator I've found helpful:
http://kwk.us/twist.html

You input bullet length, bullet diameter and velocity. Here are some results for approximate length of Speer short-length bullets
Grains-------------87-------100-------120
Bullet Length-----0.82-----1.00------1.09
Velocity-----------3000-----2800-----2500
Required Twist----15.4-----12.2-----10.6

Data pretty conforms to what folks here have posted ... an older 1:14 twist 250-300 will stabilize with a short, 87gr bullet, but will have trouble with longer bullets.

All,
All this material have been a huge help for a rookie like me in this matters, I’m so happy to joined to this forum & impressed on how helpful are every single one of you, with your prompt & expert responses. I'm trying to get the 87gr hot core, and also the 100gr. looking forward for this fall season, my kid is all excited about it and looking to get his first deer. once again thanks a lot & best luck this 2015 season…. As we say in México…. muchas gracias AMIGOS!!

Thanks for the update. That is a pretty rifle, good luck this year, Joe.

This rifle was not made in 1917. It was made in 1919. JTC

Thus the word from Mount Olympus. Nice to see you posting from time to time John.

I'm sure everyone have notice the shortage of brass, would anyone know where can I find it?

Check the auctions on gunbroker. Or>> http://www.captechintl.com/proddetail.php?prod=BCS250SAV100

If you can get .22-.250 brass, it is simple to neck up. You'll need a tapered expander ball though.

Hello there!! hope everyone are having great time with there family in this important holyday.
I was wondering if you could shed some light, i bought a box of brand new ammo, 100gr remington, i shot 5 or 6 rounds, the rifle has been deforming the cases in one of the sides almost at the bottom of the case, just above the extractor grove, after the shot is done the case come out with a bump around 2 o´clock. i´m blaming a set of rounds i bougth from a local reloader, seems the cases were not re'sized given about 6 of them got stock on the chamber, i´ve noticed some of the ammo didn´t allow the lever to completely close, i´m wonderign if those 6 to 12 shots were able to damage the barrel, to cause now bums o every single case.
In the other hand i´m wondering if am I will be able to either repair or buy a new barrel for that rifle? savage 250-3000. Once again thanks a lot for your greatly & kindly help.
Blessed thanks giving to everyone!

Lots of 99 250 Savages have large chambers and need to be resized to fit particular rifle and chamber. Can you post a pic of your fired case with a bump? Also overall case length after firing factory round.

Hello KK Alaska,
I'm back after to this posting, last year I went back to school for a semester & was not able to get really active on my hubbies.
The total length of the case after been fired is 1.910", this was a brand new ammo, 100 gr.
I'm also attaching pics & a quick sketch I made to illustrate the bump little better, thanks.

I had a custom 17 Ackley Hornet that did that. Was still the most accurate rifle I owned.
