[41rem]

Have a new 22-250, looking to start my reloading project this winter. Is Lapua brass totally out of the picture?

If you can find Lapua its hands down the best but it will need neck turned in a saami chamber which I do for my nephew's I load for. Its to tight for my liking.

Check the Sig Sauer web site for their brass. I have found it to be very good.

Yup.....I like Sig brass in one of my 243s. Strong stuff and reasonably priced as well

 

[DLT]

I say sig. although their 223 brass can’t handle much. Does great in my 6 creed

Its exactly what I would do. Buy 100 PCS and it will last the life of the barrel, it you dont turn send it to me ill turn it for you.
D.J's brass service will to i believe, you won't be sorry with the Lapua.
If I remember correctly a saami chamber is .255 neck and a unturned loaded round is .2535-.254

Is that a minimum SAAMI or a maximum SAAMI?

Not a big fan of turning necks where not really needed. YMMV. My factory 700 V chamber is fine using the blue box stuff without turning. No outside measurements, but a .224 bullet drops right into a fired neck as does a .225 gauge pin, so...

Also have some SIG for backup but haven't used any of it yet. The few pieces checked measured up pretty nicely.

Seems like, what ever brand you can find presently of 22-250 would be the best. They all work fine.

OP,.. THERE you ,.. GO ^^^ ( 138 pcs ) and NO silly "Neck turning" ,.. in MOST Chambers !
Norma Brass, in .22-250 and 6 XC has always, worked,.. Fine for, Me.
I've also had, good Luck with, Old White Bag, Red lettered, Winchester .22-250 and ONE Batch of, Nosler,..
GOT Lucky, on that chit,.. Once ! ( Probably was made By,. Norma, tho,. but,.. idk ! )

I've had a couple boxes of new Lapua 22-250 brass stashed away for a couple of years. I picked up a new Tikka Super Varmint a couple months ago and zero issues with needing to turn necks for it. Tried some in my Savage and no issues there either.

Couldn't tell you, its a Rem SPS and I believe fired brass measured .255 nk

Whats your nk clearance? Fired vrs loaded round?
I won't shoot anything less than .003 clearance more like .0035-.004 l prefer up to 6.5

With a 50 Vmax, loaded neck is .251 and fired neck is .255

In comparison my Winchester brass measures .2495 loaded and .255 fired

You got thinner Lapua brass than I did then, the stuff I got measured .2535- .254 loaded
