I remember shooting the 250's in factory loads for the 300 Winny back around 1980, or so. This was right before I started reloading.

I believe my Hodgdon #25 has data for it, but with H powder only. I'll pull it off my shelves when I get home.

66.0 gr H4831 2,445 fps (start)
69.0 gr H4831 2,570 fps (max)

78.0 gr H870 2,490 fps (start)
81.0 gr H870 2,655 fps (max)

This manual also has data for the 250 gr bullet for .30-06, 300 H+H and 300 Wby for those who may be interested.
