Get the heaviest TSX you can load, and do check the twist. A 1 in 14 may not stabilize the longer bullets.
A 1-14 twist will NOT stabilize a lot of bullets that are out there right now. In fact, 1-10 is marginal on the 115 Ballistic tips and such. I suspect that Steelie's 250AI is a 1-10 if he is using 110 Accus. If this really is a 1-14- don't touch it with with the proverbial 10-foot-pole.
All this said, I have killed a number of cow elk with my 250 Savage, all using 100 grain Partitions. All have been complete pass-throughs so using a 115 Partition is probably no warranted.
Would I hunt PA bears in thick cover with one? Not on purpose- I would use a large caliber bullet to make a bigger hole. Ray said it best.
