[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 815743, member: 25383"] I got just about 550 ft. lb. at 250 yards with the 115 grain bullet and a B/C of .22. A 6x45 will push an 85 grain bullet to an honest 2700 fps, but the 6.8 SPC case necked down to 25 caliber with the 100 grain Nosler BT ought to be close to 2700 fps, but with a smaller case head. Thus less bolt thrust. That's 860 ft. lb. of energy at 300 yards, and about 540 at 500 yards. (.35 BC). I still like the idea of a .250 Savage with a 100 grain bullet better than any round disscussed and also cussed. It'll push a 100 grain bullet to about 2850 fps and have about 42K psi of chamber pressure. That's roughly 600 ft.lb. at 500 yards with a mild load of AA 4064. But 40 grains of H414 will give you about 3100 fps in a 26" barrel ( must be very hot). The Hornaday 100 grain SST looks like it was just made for the 250 Savage! The case is short enough that you won't have problems fitting a long overall length round in the magazine. He could load 100 grain bullets with the AA 4064 load, and then switch to the H414 load for himself.
