Who has 250 3000/savage brass

[robroy]

The title says most of it. I can't seem to find a vendor that has it in stock. I might have to try forming 22-250 back to the parent case.

I tried Graff's, Midway, Brownells, Mid South, and Natchez

I thought it was now called 250 Savage...http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=250+savage+brass

It is the same thing. They dropped the 3000 a long time ago.

In my mind it'll always be the .250-3000. :) I have necked up .22-250s, necked down .300 Savages, and once, while in a masochistic mood, made them out of .308s. (Plan on neck turning/reaming if you try the necking down trick.)

I think I have some brass I'll have to look and find it if you want it.

Blowing out .22-250 is the easiest way to come by .250-3000 brass. Ben making it that way for years.

I went on a hunt for some last night and didn't find any either. I went into the garage and lubed a 22-250 case and my 250-3000 sizing die. It worked just fine, the brass will be a little short, but that should not matter. I have read that one shoud use a tapered expander which I will get for my RCBS die set if I ever get a rifle in 250-3000.

You might want to anneal the necks too when necking up/down to .25 caliber. Work hardening the brass through those transformations can lead to cracked necks after a while.

Yup 250-3000/250Savage are the same critter by different names. I realy like that slight bluish tint that annealing givs the necks and will certainly do that If I go the 22-250 route. Don't want to use my 300 savage brass for other than 300 savage. I realy don't want to get into neck reaming the 308.

Shaggy I got a bag of new on the hook right now and another wouldn't hurt. Please check and let me know if you do have any.

If I were to do this (and I'm not) I would anneal last and here's why. I want to find out which case is the weak case, so if I split a neck during the conversion process I just found it. Almost all the conversions I do annealing is the very last thing I do.

And those cases aren't expensive enough yet to consider making any either....

The necked up 22-250's work fine for me but I do have a 25 cal neck reamer just in case.

You could also look into necking down 6.5 Creedmoor.
