.250 Savage

[zombiehunter]

Any experience? My friend's dad has one and my friend and I have been searching for ammo, no luck. What say you, learned masses *searches in vain for the keys to put an accent over the e*

Wow I didn’t think the .250 Savage would go to a obsolete cartridge but it is headed that way.

www.ammunitiontogo.com has some Winchester listed http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/index.php/cName/rifle-ammo-250-savage

Then there are the obsolete cartridge specialists:

Gunbroker has some listed but if he is going to keep using the rifle I would start looking for someone to reload for it.

could have sworn cabelas had some factory 250 savage ammo but a quick search proved me wrong

I suspect the situation is due to current overall ammo short supply, and "when" the high volume cals are cought up, the rest of the product line will fill back in.
In general the .250 Savage is similar to the later .243 with heavier bullets, albiet with larger dia bullet.

It comes and goes I just got a 1920ish 1899 in that caliber need to rustle up some brass.


Apologies for resurrecting a 3year old thread

Hello, I might have a few box's of new ( 30 + yr old ) brass packed away sir. I will look this week and if i find them i will send you a PM.

Reed's Ammo makes great stuff. http://shop.reedsammo.com/main.sc

I shot their .222 Rem mag ammo and you could cover the three 200 yard shots with a nickel.

Reeds asks to contact them if you need something that they don't carry.

I think Remington still makes it.

Forgot to say that I used a 250-3000 as my 1st deer rifle. I used cartridges my dad had when he was young. I never remember buying any.

Thanks guys I'd be willing to buy some brass. I have dealt with reeds on EAQAC parts to notch establishment.

For my low use odd caliber guns I rarely seek factory ammo as I can have it loaded much better

 

[Biggfoot44]

If it comes to that , just neck back up .22-250 brass.

Ill find some, and they keep running it. Picked up some at Chantilly for $20/box loaded Remington ammo. Which I didnt think was bad, infact I bought 8 which should keep me busy for a while.

I did also with a Savage model 1920. After I shoot the buck I said to my Uncle "I did not feel the recoil"

To which my uncle replied " Noboby does"
