Lack of 22-250 brass

With the lack of good 22-250 brass. Lapua quit producing it. Looking at threads people use to make 6xc brass from lapua 22-250 brass.

Can i take 6xc and make 22-250 brass ? What are the options these days ?
 
I don’t understand why 22-250 brass is so hard to find, 22-250 being one of the most popular varmint rounds ever and in use with many shooters today. it’s a pain in the butt.

I can’t comment on 6XC brass being converted to 22-250 brass either but if you can’t find decent brass another option is loaded ammo which is pretty plentiful and it’s not far off what a guy would pay for brass. The link below is one example.

They quietly stopped making it.

Brother they have quietly stopped making all of the Walmart cartridges. Try to find 243 or 270 or 3030 etc etc

They have essentially stopped making just darn near everything while no one was looking.

I have a buddy that has a whole bunch of it that he's looking to get rid of all brand new in the bags I believe he said it's all Remington. I can probably hook you up with him

It seams your correct Star Line is a good source of brass. But I looked and they also have no 22/250 brass listed Hummmmm I'd call Starline and put your name on the list for the next run of brass. They make good bass cases.

Starline is very selective about what cartridges they offer in their brass, 22-250 would seem like a no brainer but I’ve asked them about it and 35 Remington, they were nice but said there was no plans for either in the immediate future, that was a year and half ago. Hopefully that changes, on both accounts.

Here you go. My 200 pieces of Remington 22-250 brass has 9 loadings on it, pockets are not loose yet and it's loaded right now for the 10th time. I have Tula LRMP'S to use when the pocket starts to feel loose. I will burn this barrel out with this brass.

That's what happens when bean counters take over a company. Real bad. Hate that shit.

disregard this, was thinking about Berger.

Not a direct answer to your question, but there are people out there who no longer shoot .22-250 and have components laying around, like me. You need to grab as much as you can afford to buy because nothing is ever going to become plentiful and cheap ever again.
I'd look for fellow shooters who are enthusiasts/friends and who who wouldn't mind helping you. I have 63 once-fired, cleaned and deprimed Remington brand cases that I would be willing to pass on for $40 shipped if that would help you. They were shot in a Nikko Golden Eagle bolt gun.
