B-22, I agree that there are gonna be very few situations where a 250gr 30cal bullet will be a better choice than a 180 or 168, but he might have his own reasons for wanting to try them. I recently loaded some 220gr Sierra RN'sfor a 30-40 krag, knowing full well that the 180gr would have been a better performer. I just wanted the original loading 30-40-220.

If Crew was asking aboutthe 250gr'sperformance on deer or even elksized game, by all means he should be directed towards a different bullet. But he seemed to want to try them for whatever reason and was just looking for loading info.

Call Hawk up and ask them. Tell them what gun you have and ask them if your gun can or can not stabilize the round. If they say yes, ask them for load data. They should be able to give you safe data that you can play with.

Just thinking out loud.
