Thanks, without this forum I would still be looking for 22-250 brass. Thanks to you guys, I’m good. I’ll wear it out as fast as I can, then look again for more.

I thank you both. I should be all set for 22-250 again. Thank you.

Haven’t seen any in over 1 year from local stores or online. No signs anyone is about to produce any with all the new cartridges that have become so popular. The good old 22-250 Remington seems abandoned. I cannot believe it. If anyone has any new brass they don’t want, or knows where I can...

Should work great. That looks like a nice press. This topic is one reason I like the shooting and reloading industries--it seems like we have a dozen brands of this or that to choose to buy and at the end of the day, they're all pretty darn good. I have a Forster that I couldn't be more...

CFE powders I understand the powder hodgdon calls cfe 223 was used by our military several years ago with good results specifically in fully automatic weapons. Since the military has changed to an improved powder, only available to military, hodgdon has released the exact blend of old...

22-250 load I load and shoot a vssfII in 22-250 and my advice to you is any of those powders will be fine. Personally, I load with H380 mid load in Nosler book. I couldn't get enough varget in the case to seat a bullet without hearing a crunch, but varget is nice because it's not temperature...

Don't count on what the customer tells you I mean that respectfully. Until you reload several yourself, with your own known good equipment and are sure what powder and what charge is in the cartridge, I wouldn't think it's a problem with the rifle. Sounds like too much of some particular...

Just started Until I spotted the first crack I haven't ever needed to anneal, but now I am annealing everything. I don't have a machine, just watched the process on you tube and then try to duplicate it as close as I can--time will tell I guess. But it seems to me that I also need to start...

Ok thanks everyone.

Yes, I will buy new brass. I have other brass and will throw any cracked ones away, anneal the rest. I just want the new stuff to last as long as possible. And I thought if I could make the neck portion of this die a little bigger that would be good. I see now that because they are hardened...

Thanks for responses--now I know I'm not the only one to think of trying it Ya thanks for your time. It's something I thought was a good idea, then thought about it overnight and realize now I should get the right tool for the job. If they weren't made of hardened steel it would be a different...

I have reloaded my 300 Win Mag cases enough times the case necks are splitting. I have a full length rcbs die for this caliber. These are the "cheap" ones that use an expander ball. I do not want to invest in bushing dies right now. My theory is to enlarge the neck portion of the full length die...

There is no reason a bullet will ever fly higher than the barrels axis In my opinion. I think people misunderstand this because of the fact that the scope is pointed downward in relation to the centerline of the barrel, so the bullet flies upward compared to the view through the scope, but the...

It is my experience shooting a 243 Winchester featherweight that bedding does nothing. Mine was not free floated, so I made it free floating. No tighter groups. An inch and a half at 100 if I am lucky. So I added pressure just at the end of forearm (took someone's advice, can't remember who) no...

Which type of resizing method would you use if the requirements for benchrest and factory are the same. Mine has Jewell trigger and nightforce--good. I know it is not a benchrest level rifle. But wouldn't you want to see the best it can do? Maybe 1/2 inch is all it can shoot, maybe not. If I...

Bump dies So shoulder "bump dies" have no place in Benchrest shooting rifles. But would you say bump dies are better than full length sizing dies in a factory style rifle as long as the cartridge continues to chamber and extract well? Better meaning to create a tighter cartridge to chamber...

. I read these posts every night but don't shoot in any competitions so never have any input to share with you guys. Always interesting though. Obviously any dangerous reloading practice must be avoided. I use Forster bump dies for my varmint 22-250 factory Remington VSSF...

Accurate 22-250 There may not be anybody who DOES NOT make a good 22-250! But, by "good" I assume you mean good overall--taking price, accuracy, reliability, feel, and etc, into account. Three years ago I bought a Remington VSSF II in 22-250. I installed a Nightforce benchrest scope, a...

Calling coyotes Hey, I have read discussions on this forum for months, and finally joined tonight so I am new and will undoubtedly post things where they don't belong so be ready! I have tried numerous strategies for coyote calling and it is tougher than I thought, although I know guys that...
