Guys, looking for bullet suggestions for reloading low recoil rounds for the 250 Savage. Yes, from what I read, the caliber is already low recoiling, but really looking for a powder puff for my child. Would you download Nosler 100gr. Ballistic Tips, or would you try, Sierra, I think...
My first revolver was the Super Blackhawk Hunter in .45 Colt; mine is topped with a Leupold 2X scope. They shoot extremely accurately, as you are finding out. If you decide to shoot cast bullets, might want to think of reaming the cylinder throats to .4525; mine were really tight. Have fun...

Let me guess!!!! He folded on the spot and there was very little, if any, meat damage. Had some buddies at Gander Mtn. that devoloped V-Max loads for the .243 that were scorching hot. It was their preferred broadside deer load...

Have an 1895GS that I have yet to hunt the "dark timber" with. Also, there is a 9.3x62mm CZ 550 FS that I got just in case my same rifle in 6.5x55mm doesn't work as well as I think it will on elk. Oh ya, and there is my BFR .475Linebaugh that I also got for handgunning elk. Did I mention...
Got a Gander Mountain within driving distance? Buck, at the Gander Mountain in Fargo was an excellent gunsmith. He had guys from all over the country sending in stuff to him.
