Jakeroo, I looked in the Hornady, Hodgdon and Sierra reloading manuals for Savage 250 and 243 loads. None listed over 105-grain bullets for the 243.
The Hornady book says" Much of the original acclaim about the all-around capabilities of the 243 can be credited to the late Warren Page."
The Sierra book says "One reason for the successful reception of the 243 is the greater sectional density of the lighter bullets which means you have better remaining velocities for long range targets."
I'm making no claims for the 250 over the 243, only replying to your question why some may prefer the Savage 250.
