Here's a link to a required barrel twist calculator I've found helpful: http://kwk.us/twist.htmlYou input bullet length, bullet diameter and velocity. Here are some results for approximate length of Speer short-length bullets Grains-------------87-------100-------120 Bullet Length-----0.82-----1.00------1.09 Velocity-----------3000-----2800-----2500 Required Twist----15.4-----12.2-----10.6 Data pretty conforms to what folks here have posted ... an older 1:14 twist 250-300 will stabilize with a short, 87gr bullet, but will have trouble with longer bullets.

I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Hello there!! hope everyone are having great time with there family in this important holyday. I was wondering if you could shed some light, i bought a box of brand new ammo, 100gr remington, i shot 5 or 6 rounds, the rifle has been deforming the cases in one of the sides almost at the bottom of the case, just above the extractor grove, after the shot is done the case come out with a bump around 2 o´clock. i´m blaming a set of rounds i bougth from a local reloader, seems the cases were not re'sized given about 6 of them got stock on the chamber, i´ve noticed some of the ammo didn´t allow the lever to completely close, i´m wonderign if those 6 to 12 shots were able to damage the barrel, to cause now bums o every single case. In the other hand i´m wondering if am I will be able to either repair or buy a new barrel for that rifle? savage 250-3000. Once again thanks a lot for your greatly & kindly help. Blessed thanks giving to everyone!

Lots of 99 250 Savages have large chambers and need to be resized to fit particular rifle and chamber. Can you post a pic of your fired case with a bump? Also overall case length after firing factory round.

Hello KK Alaska, I'm back after to this posting, last year I went back to school for a semester & was not able to get really active on my hubbies. The total length of the case after been fired is 1.910", this was a brand new ammo, 100 gr. I'm also attaching pics & a quick sketch I made to illustrate the bump little better, thanks.

I had a custom 17 Ackley Hornet that did that. Was still the most accurate rifle I owned.
