Roundoak always has something to share that is pertinent!
I’ve always said the 250 Savage is to deer what the 223 is to varmints... ie, it kills all out of proportion to its kick. If I lived where the only big game I hunted were whitetails, I’d use a 250 Savage over anything.
One I took 30 years ago with the 250 and a Speer 120...
