With buching die, I do a two step process, first with a .253, then a .250. use plenty of lube.Lapua or Alpha brass???
Anything particular to look for when necking 6mm brass to .22..........doughnut, neck thickness, annealing????
Also, 22-250 cases are easily f-formed to 22 Creedmoor. This is a pretty good option, depending on how many cases you need.
Good shootin' -Al
Glad I didn't know that before buying 300 pcs. of Lapua and 200 pcs. of Winchester just last week.....Try to find 22-250 brass. It almost does not exist.

Nothing personal meant with the emoji, sir.
I just sent some 'unavailable' brass to a shooter in need. He told me he'd: "Checked everywhere and it wasn't currently being made". It was on the shelf at one of my local gun shops.
When everyone says the sky is falling, I just find it better to look up than down.

Had my 22 Creedmoor out for the first time 3 days ago:

Brass is fire formed Lapua 22-250. Here's a before and after pic of the brass, the 'unavailable' Lapua cases and a couple bags of Winchester 22-250...all purchased in the last three weeks from two reputable on line sources.

For those looking for 22-250 cases, the Sig Sauer cases are excellent quality U.S.A. mfgd. cases.

It also appears to be fired brass. That’s a big NO for me especially at 1.65 a pop.22–250 rifle braas Nosler headstamped from Sleeping Giant.
It shows up. Just not oftenOh, you can find it. Are they making either? No.
There is no need for the eye roll. Just trying to help others THAT CALL ME EVERY DAY not able to find components.
