Anybody reload 100gr ttsx for their 250 savage? just picked one up in a model 99 for the boy and would like to start reloading for it. Interested in the barnes ttsx 100gr and the accubond 110gr. The barrel is 1-10 for those that were going to ask;) the powders listed on both sites are pretty limited so please fire away with your pet loads.

Thanks for your help

I've shot 110 Accubonds and 100gr Hornady SPs in my 257Roberts. Both shoot very well and have worked well on deer.

If I was working up a load for a 250Savage, I would start with those two bullets, esp the Hornady as it always gets a positive comment from 25cal shooters. Considering the lower velocity from a 250, I wouldn't think a premium bullet would be required.

I too have heard that the Barnes bullets should have a little more horse power behind them for best performance. I did try them at the range in my 250 Ruger 77 and they didn't group all that well.
I'm still working on loads for this rifle. I believe the Accubond will be the next bullet I try. FS
 
Win 760 is tough to beat for 100gr bullets as well IMR4895.Some rant about RE15 but I havn't tried it.I have a Rem 700 classic with loads too hot for a 99 that puts 100gr Sierra's into the same jagged hole........Harold
 
A member here who I am sure will chime in when he sees the thread reported to me that his 99 shot four different weights very well and that the only thing that could make it shoot poorly was the fore end.
 
Shoot Ty Herring an email at Barnes for load data. I just emailed him for some 250 data for the 80 grain ttsx. He emailed back data for the 100 grain as well. 6 powders to chose from.

That just might be me.:D Thanks to a tip from 99trix on this board I put a bit of pressure on the barrel by an "O" ring and a bit of rubber under the fore end.
The rifle shoots everything I've fed it in truly spectacular fashion. 87 gr, 90 gr, 100gr, 117gr, all under an inch at 100 yds. The loads are all mild to near book maximum, and it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. It will get a work out this fall on little Island blacktails with 100gr Partitions, which may not open up enough, and 117gr Hornaday RNs over H414 (Win 760).
I found out years ago that work on the for end helps a lot with '99 takedowns too. It's a bit harder to get it right, but well worth it.:)
Hope this is worthwhile info even without specific data like powder charge(s). As always, for that go to a good manual and you won't be unhappy.

What I have said so many times. A proper bedded rifle will shoot well with all good ammunition. And you will never hear, "My rifle likes---dah-dah-dah-
