I have built a number of 250 Sav, 257 Roberts, 25-06 with 10" twist barrels and no problems with 100 gr or 115 gr Nos Bal Tip. I have shot deer out to 500 yards with the 115 gr.

My problems are with old 25-20 Winchester 92s.
With Sierra 1600 75 gr .257" hollow point bullets. I can stabilize a .751" long bullet with the 14" twist at 1900 fps..... barely. I had to hunt around for a bullet that short.
