Opinions on cast for 22-250

[dondiego]

No i have not. Google says it is quite do able though. RCBS used to sell a conversion die set to make it, dont see it available. I imagine it isnt as easy as it sounds. The 22-250 has a tapered case and is shorter. The case head is the same. So a stout press and good sizing lube is a must. I all ready have the tools to neck turn so i just need 22 cal mandrel. I have the tools to anneal. I imagine i am good. Should be tedious, but I don't mind. I all ready make 6.5g Grendel brass and 260 Rem brass.

The 250 Savage is the parent case for the 22-250. The case heads are the same and falls into the .308 parent case family.

Sounds like a good project!

I have shot the RCBS 22-55-SP in both a Swift and a .22-250. The problem is that it's hard to throttle them back enough to shoot cast accurately due to the larger case capacity. My friend was attempting to shoot them at Swift velocities and I don't think they made it 25 yards down range. I loaded him a few with reduced loads but he was expecting jacketed bullet performance from cast and soon gave up the project./beagle
