The 250 Savage, also called 250-3000, was designed for Savage Arms by Charles Newton. Introduced in 1915, it was the first commercial cartridge to reach 3000 feet per second, and as such made quite a stir! Although only rarely chambered in new rifles today, the 250 Savage was an extremely popular chambering the Savage 99 lever action, and has been chambered to numerous bolt-action rifles as well. Although the 87-grain bullet is able to reach 3000 feet per second, the wisdom of time suggested this bullet is too light for big game. The current standard loading of a 100-grain bullet at 2820 feet per second, available from both Remington and Winchester, remains an extremely effective choice for pronghorns and deer-sized game out to at least 250 yards or so.
