One of the things I enjoy about reloading is the money savings and I am as cheap as hell. I have lots of ‘06 brass but no new brass money LOL.

I keep wanting just one more; I've had several but not yet a tackdriver.
I've stuck with the .250 Savage and its AI version for the last few years.
I think the Bob a truly great cartridge.

I have long wanted a 257 Roberts. Always liked what I was hearing when reading about it.
I started out in the quarter bores with the 250 AI and 250 Savage. Been having fun with them to date.
Still need to finalize a load in the AI (LH Rem 700 CDL) with the 110 gr AccuBond. Fireforming Winchester brass by shooting the factory 250 Savage 100 gr ammo would produce sub-MOA groups. My wife enjoyed shooting it enough, she bought her own 250 Savage (Lipsey's Edition Ruger No.1)
I have rebarreled a Winchester Model 88 to 250 Savage with a 22" Wilson barrel in a Boyd's laminate stock. It will shoot HSM's 100 gr SGK ammo into 0.209" groups at 100 yards!
I recently acquired a beautiful custom LH Sako L591 in 257 Roberts, with a Shilen 22" barrel with 1:10 twist, in a beautiful walnut stock. With a Leupold VX-IIc 3-9 compact scope it weighs 8 lbs 1 oz. So far it will shoot the Nosler 110 gr AccuBond ammo into a 0.582" group. I am currently working on developing a load with the 115 gr Ballistic Tip. I have one load with Re-22 that requires a little more work to fine tune for its full potential. Otherwise I still have a couple more powders to try (IMR and H-4831). The challenge with this small action is the length of the magazine box...I won't be able to load out as long as I would like; can't even load out to COAL as per the reloading manuals. In the end, any load that will produce MOA will be satisfactory as the rifle is so nice, and to handle and shoot.
