I recently loaded up some firepower for my Savage 99A in 250 Savage. I got a deal on 2 boxes of 100 grain Sierra GameKings on this site a while back so I decided to work up a load for them. Final product was the 100 grain pill sittin' atop 33.5 grains of IMR 4064, with Federal 210M primers. They group well under 1.5" at 100 yards, not bad at all for a lever gun. My question is, will the Sierra perform well at distances under 125 yards on Whitetail deer? Velocity is at +/- 2800 FPS. It's just that I have read a ton lately about the Barnes TSX and TTSX pills, and wondered if I can have faith in my 250 bringing down a big Maine buck? Thanks, Rich.
