OUTSTANDING!

Anybody else fond it ironic that Savage made a 25 caliber rifle that shoots a 100 gr. Nosler BT great before they made the 250-3000 with 1-14" twist, that doesn't?


I don't find that ironic at all.

The engineers at Savage were given the number "3,000" and worked backward to find a bullet length/weight and twist that got them to 3000. A classic case of reverse engineering. And hence marketed and sold a chit load of rifles and made their shareholders a ton of money. A brilliant piece of ingenuity on their behalf.

The 25-35 was washed up in 1915 regardless of how well is shot 117 grain bullets at 2300 ft sec
The 250-3000 Savage put in on the fast track to obsolescence.
