250-3000 Savage, best 100 gr bullet, any opinions?

It has been 50 years since I loaded for and hunted with a 250-3000. It was a slow twist Savage 99 and was MOA with 87 grain bullets, but 2.5 MOA with 100 grain bullets, but that was still good enough to hunt deer. I was using Sierra 100 grain bullets and it did a good job on several deer, one antelope and a passle of javelina.

After a fling with the rifle and round, I went back to my Winchester 70 in .243. That was my main deer rifle for 25 years. I used others, but that was my go-to deer rifle.
