What can you all tell me about the 250 Savage? Thinking of getting one to play and possibly hunt with.
Thanks in advance, Tom

Re: Good Henry Service Experience - so far
Joe,
+1 on the octagon barreled models. I own a H0001T and I absolutely love it. I have about 1500 rounds through mine and it seems to be getting more accurate all the time. Shotgun shells are no trouble at 40 yards if I do my part.
Good luck, Tom

Yup. Barrel heat. Stick to 3 shot groups. This really only pertains to sporter weight barrels, although I've had heavy barrels do it too.

45-70 without hesitation. Bullets from 250 to 550 grains, in numerous profiles. Not picky as far as powder is concerned. Cat sneeze up to elephant whomper loads, still relatively available, from NUMEROUS factory ammo companies.

From what I understand the 168s work well at least to 600 yds. ....actually much further. The shooters who favor heavier bullets either want more energy and/or less wind drift. Remember that doping wind is the great equalizer at long range matches or shooting. This was taken from, http://www.palma....

Let your rifle do the talkin'..........then ask if they want to stand out in front of it and catch a few.
You practice with it, and get good. You should have no problem makin' killing shots further than those gun store rangers do from their counter-tops.
