I run Sig in my custom barreled 22-250. Used a minimum SAAMI spec reamer(new) for both mine and my buddies barrels. Some cases have 4-5 loadings near book max, zero issues.

I just measured neck thickness on Winchester, Lapua and Sig 22-250 brass that I have in my stash. All are new, unfired and unsized fresh out of the bag/box and all measured .014" thick. Lapua shown in the picture. Hope this helps.

No problem using the Lapua brass in my tikka 22-250. The older blue bag Winchester brass has also worked and shot just as accurately.
I agree with this. I assume your 22 250 is a hunting rifle. With proper brass preparation and proper sizing, I never had a problem getting the great 22 250 to perform in the sub to 1/2 moa level in my Remington 700 Varmint (heavy barrel - bedded stock) with highly tuned reloads.
If possible, however, I would avoid Remington brass due to the inconsistency I have experienced in several different lots. By inconsistency, I mean presumably metallurgical properties creating a wide variance in sizing measurements. But even with these cases, I was able to obtain adequate varmint hunting accuracy.
I had my best results with Winchester brass but that was some time ago. Not sure how consistent it is these days since everything seems to be changing for the worse. I wouldn't hesitate to use either Hornady or Starline either based on my recent experience with other calibers using these brands of cases.
In this brave new world, one needs to be adaptable to change and overcome it.

No problems with Lapua in my Tikka .22-250 either.
I'm shooting a wide variety of brass in my Tikka 22-250. I only use it for night time coyote hunting, so not a competition rig. I haven't had problems with any brand, so far. Some of the best looking brass I've used is made by SIG. Lately, I've seen several local stores with supplies of Hornady 22-250 brass.
Norma Brass:
I have been using some Privi PPU and it seems fine for varmint loads.
