[big bear]

I assumed there should be some info about loads for this rifle on here, did search, didn't find much. Can anybody help? I have an old faster twist model and a later slower twist rifle.Thanks!

There is some good general information on the Savage 99 in .250 Savage and .250-3000 in this link:

In the link above, I give a link to an article in Rifle Magazine. It is well worth reading and perhaps you might want to print it or save it to your computer or both.

My 1947 .250-3000 loves 32 grains of IMR-3031 with the 87 grain Speer. I only shoot two groups off the bench with it and they went 1.62" for the first and .570" for the 2nd. I proclaimed it good enough for my hunting using a peep sight.

I use 32 gr. of 4064 with a 100 gr but you can put any lighter bullet on it. Very accurate in 3 rifles.
