250 SAVAGE

The 250-3000 Savage (aka 250 Savage) is a cartridge that boasted some pretty impressive stats upon its introduction in the mid-1910s: 87 grain bullet, 3,000 fps muzzle velocity. It remains a capable solution to taking medium game, although its improved variant the 250 Ackley currently has far more fans. Contrary to popular misconception, you don’t need to be uncivilized to hunt with the 250 Savage.
