Best 22-250 brass? Norma??

[Crumster]

Well, for better or worse, I just bought 97 new Winchester cases off Gunbroker for $95.00 + the usual shipping and tax. Winchester cases have served me well.....not glamorous. but they can do the heavy work a varminter requires, without complaint.

Yes, a fellow member took pity on me. A real gentleman from here in Washington. He offered the rifle, and detailed record of every single shot ever fired (which was not many (sub 1/4" group for instance!)

I have a special appreciation for factory rifles that shoot real good.

It's a rare occasion when you get a rifle that has that special feeling that when you pick it up you are in awe of it. I know that a big part of that is due to the care and attention it got from the original owner. Even at my age, I learned something from him.

OK, I proposed this question before on here, and I didn't word it correctly to get the answers I was hoping for. So here it is again.
I want to give my new cases the full prep,. So in what order would you arrange the steps.
Flash hole drilling, cases length trim, deburring, fire forming, weight sorting, capacity sorting, light cleanup neck turning, more?

 

[bozo699]

Flash hole drilling on Lapua brass?… no
Light cleanup on necks?.. I wouldn’t on a factory chamber, I have seen it hurt accuracy but if you need to I would go over about 80%
If it were my I would weight sort it if I was competing with it, size it, chanfer the necks, load it and shoot it. Then maybe I would trim it before second loading

Criterion stainless match, 24” varmint contour, 1 in 12 twist, Savage small shank. Jim stated 12-20 week lead time. I’d love to have it right now, so I’m not just making this up.

I have that same barrel on my LH Savage action, IIRC I waisted just over three months. If shoots Sierra 1365 55gr Gamekings great, it's the only bullet I've tried as I have a bunch and the rifle was built for groundhogs and coyotes. I do have several hundred of 52gr Nosler Custom Competition I need to play with.

Back in the day, I could have answered this myself, but it isn't back in the day any more. Looks like I have aseveral choices now on new unfired brass.......NORMA? Hornady, Nosler, Lapua or Winchester. There is also Remington, but I know better than that. There's quite a

I've been kicking the idea of fast twist 22-250ai. But that will probably happen after I wear our one on my factory remingtons. I really do love how my factory guns shoot.

What the twist? 1-14?
few considerations, but here's not a better place in the world to ask than right here
