Nice find. Dad said his 99 .250 didn't go "Bang!" It went "Meat!" I've found that to be true over the years. John's velocities are right on, too. I get 3415fps with 75gr Sierra hollow points and 40gr of RL15 and 3003 with 100gr NBTs and 37gr of the same in a 700 Classic. Dad's old rifle clocks 3071fps with 37gr IMR4320 and the 87gr Speer hot core. And still says "Meat!"
