Food for thought
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail — its roof may shake — the wind may blow through it — the storm may enter — the rain may enter — but the King of England cannot enter! — all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!
- William Pitt, 1763
The 22-250 is based on the 250-3000 Savage case necked down to .22caliber and is so named because of the caliber (22) and the parent case (250).
The only version of the Madsen sold in any quantity was the .30 caliber (.30-06). These were bought by Columbia.
The 300 Winchester Magnumcartridge was introduced in 1963. With a 150gr bullet, the velocity is 3290 fps and when zeroed at 250 yards shows a 0 - 300 yard rise-to-drop of 2.9" to -3.5"
