Current Favorite is the 100 gr Sierra pro hunter because I have about 300 hundred left. The ones we have recovered from deer have all weighed about 60 grains. Broadsides , even at a couple of hundred yards, exit unless both shoulders are hit solid. Over the last 30 some years the wife has “ field tested” Sierra pro hunter, Speer hot cor , and Hornady interlock on deer and there is no noticeable difference. Dad used a 257 Roberts for about 15 years and I jumped on the 250 Savage bandwagon about ten years ago. All velocities were between 2750 and 2900 FPS. Just seems to be a good speed range for cup and core bullets. Which one we used doesn’t seem to make any difference in performance on game. Accuracy may vary a bit , but, haven’t really gone crazy trying to prove one bullet is better than another. We are not long range shooters and the 250 isn’t a long range wonder, so, it works out!
