I'm looking for some recipes for these two cartridges. I have a basic sense of capabilities but I wanted to see what you all have developed.

I'm interested in the whole range of loads, from the lightest bullets driven fast to fat and slow. If anyone has a "soft" load that they can shoot non-stop for hours without overheating the barrel, please share that as well.

Thanks

My best .250 Sav load is:
100 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip
39.0 gr of H380 (Note: this is .5 over Nosler Max)
Remington Cases
CCI BR-2 primers
Loaded to an OAL of 2.572"
Please not the longer than standard OAL. The rifle is a T/C Encore that allows the longer OAL and the reduction and pressure that makes this load safe in my rifle.

Need to go to library or book store or Wolfe Publications and find a copy of Ken Waters "Pet Loads". For most everything other than benchrest type competition it should be every handloader's "bible". He particularly loved the .257 and has two or three very long in depth columns on it. All time classic, 46 gr 4350 and 100 gr bullet for 3000 fps. In late model rifles, can use various bullets or primers. Shoots well in everything tried. Some of the newer powders could prove interesting.
