Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors 250-3000 for African Game?

So we've read before about how Charles Newton emphatically did NOT believe the 22HP was a moose (or tiger) cartridge, but rather a woodchuck cartridge that would work fine with an occasional perfect shot at a whitetail or black bear.

But how about the 250-3000? Was it a "big game" cartridge? What was the opinion a few years after it was introduced?

Well.. here's Charles Cottar answering some detractors with his opinion on the 250-3000, from a 1922 issue of Outdoor Life.
