...Savage 250/3000 AL...

[1Shot]

...Anybody have 1 they would like to talk about...??...Might build 1 for my Dad

[Monkeymaster]

Bought a @ b barrel from midway and gauges $150.00
Bought stevens 200 in 22-250 at gun show, $260.00
Had bushnell 3x9 and weaver 4x4 rings.
Has factory stock, will be replaced when wife decides which one.
Shot 1 box factory 100 grn rem psp , sighting in and breaking in barrel, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch at 100 yds.
Reloaded those cases with 100 grn b tips at 3000 fps at muzzle, groups shrank to 3/4 inch at 100 yds.
Shoots great, not overly loud, doesn't pound my shoulder, built it for my wife and have 2 other barrels one for my daughter, one for me, coyote gun.
If you take a look at the reloading manuals, and compare it to the 243, 6mm, and 257 rbrts, it holds its own in all categories pretty well.
Also take a look at bullet selection for the 25's and their sec density and it shines even brighter.
This is a very good round, and is kind of a shame that savage doesn't offer it for the public.
If you build one, you will not be disappointed.
Just my opion.
Good luck

The 250 AI is one of my favorites - easy to develop great loads (varmint, deer, target). No bad habits, brass lasts, really accurate, efficient, low recoil, low blast, works with 70 to 120 grain bullets...

Makes me want to play with a 6.5-250 AI!!

I have a barrel coming. I'll report as things develope. On paper, it looks like one heck of a round.

Question - I have some Savage 300 brass, can I resize them down to 250 ????????

[BrentWin]

From the drawings I can find, no it won't be a simple neck down. The body length and shoulder angle are both different.

22-250 brass can be necked up however.

The 300 Savage is a very different cartridge form the .250. As stated above, the .22-250 can be necked up since the .22-250 was necked down from the .250.

I had some 300 sav brass that I necked down... its a pain, but it can be done. Takes a couple of firings before it reaches full length. Also might have to turn necks depending on you chamber.

22-250 is much easier to form. That's how I will do any in the future. If you go that route, you could always tell your buddies its a "250-22-250" ;D
