Last week I ordered a 16 1/4" Encore barrel in .250 Sav. I figure it will be a good handgun or real portable carbine. Now with 8-10 weeks to wait (Fox Ridge) I have to come up with some loads for this thing. Does anyone use a .250 for 'chucks, coyotes, or crows? I bought some 75 grain V-Max and have a few boxes of factory ammo to break in the barrel with. So any suggestions? Sean <P>------------------<BR>Ask me about microwaving cats for fun and profit!
