250 Savage w/14" twist, deer load? - 11/08/13
Just yer average 99R, 24" barrel with 1/14" twist. Loads w/Hornady 75gr HP shoots great; .75"-1.25" groups @100yds all day long. Trying to come up with a deer load using 100gr bullets with no luck. Nosler Partitions, Hornady SP Interlocks, PRVI PSP's, loaded w/different powders, low and max loads out of loading manuals, all suck. Nothing works; can't hardly keep 'em on cardboard @100yds. Moved target in to 50yds and can't hardly keep group on paper. No key holing; just LARGE groups. Apparently I need the 87gr bullets for this rifle. Do NOT want varmint bullets. What is a good 87gr bullet suitable for deer? Thank you for any help!
