If you handload,the 250 AI can be pushed to nearly match 25/06 factory fodder numbers.

I would never have a 99 converted to it,but it's a cool round in a small bolt action rifle.My Dad hunts with a 250 AI made on a Weatherby Varmintmaster action-with a Leupold 3.5-10x,it weights right at 6 pounds IIRC.
