back when they first came out fav was mod 94 375win took 2 moose, 1 black bear, 1 brown bear and many deer. The 250pp performed perfectly and was very accurate. Then winchester dropped the 250 was never happy with the 200pp both in performance and accuracy, couldn't find a bullet to reload that was on par with the 250 so sold the rifle, will always regret that especially now that kodiak makes a 250. Swithed to the 356win, took several moose, 1 brown bear at and a lot of deer would have no reservations having it if charged by a brownie again. Had great success with the 220 peer and the kodiak 250 the 250pp didn't expand even on brown bear/moose unless shoot in shoulder. Recently switched back to the mod 71 win, have a new prodution and an older one converted to carbine. Always loved the rifle but until recently wasn't aware of any good bullets that would expand on deer but still tough enough for a close encounter with a brownie. After extensive testing have settled on the 250 woodleigh, outstanding accuracy and perfomance. Recovered 2 from moose shoulders, perfect performance! Use peep sights on all my levers.
