Well there goes that theory.
If I pick up a 99 in .250 Savage, it will have to be a late production one with the faster twist.
I was hoping that wouldn't be the case, but there it is. The alternative is to hunt deer with 87-grain bullets, I guess, but those tend to be varmint bullets and I don't trust 'em in the deer woods.
