This, but if you think a heavier bullet would be better the 100 gr Speer Hot-Cor and 100 gr Hornady Interlock will stabilize in that 1-14" ROT.

Is that true for all pre-mil 250-3000's? I've never tried them. The 1-14" twist was the targeted twist rate, sometimes it comes out slower and some bullets fall in the range of "works in some guns, but not in all".
