Hello
Several ?s
What is the industry standard pressure for the 250 Savage?

I assume it is lower than it could be because of so many 99,s out there and ammo
makers not wanting any of them blowing up ?
Then
Is there a 250 Savage+P out there ?
I have a 257 rbts and the Speer #14 manual only lists +P loads, not that it matters to me, but
I find it odd that they dont list the standard, and the +P.
I have 3 rifles I converted to 250 Savage using the 110 in 22-250 and the A&B 24" sporters
for my daughter, my wife, and I treated myself to one as my coyote gun.
The 110 handles a lot hotter rounds than the 250, so was curiouser as to the lack of +P.
Thank in advance

45,000 CUP with the 99's. Lot's of room to work up a load in a bolt gun.

I noticed the vel diff of .257 vs .257 +P is under 100fps. I'd approach carefully and not without a chronograph.

Never heard of a .250 +P, but I've had a .250 Sav. AI for 20+ years in a XP-100 by SSK. Heck of a shooter. Killed 75+ deer and 900+ groundhogs with it out to 503 yards. A true 1/2" gun.
