Lack of 22-250 brass

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.
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 ?
well i just did a piece of 6 xc brass to 22-250 yes you can but a lot of work . 22-creedmoor looking back at it would be great for 22-250 ackley . the case at the body shoulder junction is where the trouble lies . 22-250 is .416 dia . the 22 creed is .460 . the xc .455 so i backed off the die untill it started to resize and kept advancing untill i had full resize . then you will have to trim the lenght . at this point you have something close . i would not make 22-250 from 22 creed brass unless it was an ackley . 6xc seems do able with some effort . creed would be mor difficult.

When I was a kid… 55 years ago… I had a 219 Donaldson 12 pound rifle.
I still bring it out on the old fug shoot.
When the varminter was introduced I was making 22-250 out of 250 savage.

Or just chamber in 22xc which is better. :)
