They should work. I'd rather have the 100gr and velocity than the heavier, slower bullets.
This. In the quarterbores and less speed is your friend, given typically available bullets. The .25-35 got away with 117's because those bullets were/are designed for modest velocity.
Even in my recently acquired Ruger No.1 in .250 with its fast twist barrel I plan to apply 87's. Yes, I'm buying into Savage's philosophy of 100 years ago. Speed kills in the smallbores.
