I Like the Kephart articles.
American Rifleman November 1932 has the test of the new chambering for the Winchester Model 54. Its a Dope Bag article, The .250 Savage Caliber Winchester I had two .250 Savage rifles and every time I went to the range someone told me to have them reamed to Ackley Improved. So everyone needs a few 250 Improved articles. A good one to start in the Layne Simpson article: .250 Savage Improved from Handloader No. 316, October 2018.

Oct, 1920 - Outing - "A New Bolt Action Rifle", Horace Kephart
Dec, 1920 - Outing - "A New High-Power Cartridge", Horace Kephart These two Kephart articles are too good to not put up somewhere. When I cropped these from the Google books edition it was just for reading. I shared the bolt action rifle article with some Beartooth guys. The Google books scans are not high quality and some pages are better than others. I hope this encourages everyone to chase some of these old articles down. They are interesting reading. A New Bolt Action Rifle Outers October 1920 Pg 1 pg 2 pg 3 A New Hi Power Cartridge Outers December 1920 Pg 1 pg 2 pg 3

And let us not ignore "The Spiteful Crack of the .250-3000" by Jim Bashline. One of the last stories Bashline wrote, it explains the roots of his fascination with the Savage rifle in .250-3000. Entertaining read, it's probably out there in internetland somewhere.

After reading that makes me want to get one of those 1920 rifles. Really like the 250-3000 I own but I am looking for the second configuration in a 1920/26 chambered for the 300 Savage to compliment a 250-3000 first edition I have. Will trade a 38-55 1894 for said a rifle...
