Can someone please tell me, what kind of brass is the best for cal.22-250 I have used Rem.nickel --> one comment "shit" I have been thinking of brass from Norma, but it's very expensive :-( What are you using???
I only necksize (Lee Collet die) I'am very pleased with the collet die.
I use Federal brass in .22/250 - 99% of the time. Before I started to use a collet die, I was partially resizing ("neck-sizing") with a full length die as per everybody's good advice. Over about 12 months I experienced instances (around 15%) of cases which needed full length sizing to bring them back into spec, of which eventually less than 2% of the total are awaiting a body bump die - that or simply bin them as being the cheaper alternative!

I have settled with Winchester in all of my rifles now, inclucing the 22-250. My new 7/08 is shooting .251" groups with it. My old 22-250 would shoot .5" groups all day long with it.

M&M how many reloads? it depends on your rifle and how hot you load 40grs H-414. neck size only. full resize only two times so far. I use Win. brass in my 22-250 I anneil the necks every 3rd. or 4th reload, no more than 4..trim to 1.902" the batch for my 52gr loads have been loaded 15 times. lost a couple due to a split neck or two. anneiling is the key to long brass life.
