Reloading a 250 Savage 1-14" Twist - 08/03/11
100 grain or heavier bullets never shot well in the older Savage M99s I have owned in the past. Recently a campfire member suggested a 100 grain Speer HotCore so I bought a box and I am pleased with the accuracy - 1.25" @ 100 yards. I checked the bullet out to 300 yards and it stabilized.
The length of the Speer is .940", the length of a Sierra ProHunter is .960. The Speer shoots, the Sierra does not. There is not much difference in length. Is there some dynamic going on here besides certain rifles prefer certain bullets?
