RE: recovered bullets
Hey Sabotloader, the 250's are fine bullets. If I were sure my shots would be 100 yards or less that's probably what I'd use because they shoot smaller groups for me than the 300s. But, the heavier bullets carry better at longer distances and my groups are still decent - 3" @ 100 yards. Check out this comparision.
