I'm looking for "This worked for me" loads for the 250/3000. I am thinking of rebarreling a Axis 243 Win with a 26" in 250 Savage (1/9"). A 1/10" would work but I live in THE MARXIST/SOCIALIST PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA so I have uses lead free bullets. The rifle with a 26" barrel would put me in the same ballpark with a 257 Roberts with a 22" and take about 10% less powder and at lower PSI. No I am not interested in going with the AI cartage. As it is going to be a hunting gun, I have experience with cartridges with 40deg. shoulders (6TCU) and they are not designed for fast bolt action operation.
