I have some small primer 22-250 brass (PMC). Great results in my Colt Sauer.
Is anyone making small primer 22-250 anymore? Can't find any at all. Been 25 years since I've shot with this rifle and would like some new small rifle primer brass.

Large Primer cavities are today's manufactured standard for the 22-250. It sounds like it's time for some "fresh" brass.

Primers
The .22-250 uses large rifle primers. There is no one “perfect” LR primer for the .22-250 cartridge. The optimal primer choice depends on numerous factors including powder, bullet, brass type, seating depth, load density, and even your gun’s internal barrel dimensions. That said, if you are shooting a factory rifle, such as a Browning, Howa, Remington, Savage, or Winchester, we recommend starting with CCI-brand primers. CCI primers boast harder-than-average primer cups. Factory rifles have ample clearance around the firing pins. This can promote early primer cratering even when pressures are below rated max. If you use a primer with a soft cup, you can get extreme cratering, or even a pierced primer when running stout loads. With their hard cups, CCI primers won’t crater as much, giving you an extra margin of safety

Silver State Armory makes 243 brass with a small primer hole don't know if they do 22-250

Silver State Armory no longer makes the .243 Winchester case with small primer pocket! I had ordered one thousand of these cases with the small primer pocket. Instead of notifying me that the small primer case was no longer available, they ship me one thousand of the large primer pocket case! I already have over one thousand of the Remington case with the standard large primer pocket. I now have to lug the box (very heavy) to the local post office to return it to Silver State Armory! I am very, very dissatisfied with Silver State Armory to say the least! >:( >:( >:(
 
If you want .22-250 Remington cases with small primer pockets, you could always locate some of Remington's URBR cases and reform them into .22-250's.
