That’s true! I’ve had to wait for weeks for some specific calibers. It pays to check back frequently!

Don’t overlook some smaller manufacturers out there. They might offer unique options and sometimes better quality than mass producers!

I’m also looking for tips on .250 Savage 3000 brass! I’ve heard good things about using Varget powder for reloading. Anyone have experience with it?

Varget is a solid choice! I’ve used it with 100 to 110 grain bullets and consistently get great performance. Don’t forget to experiment with different weights for your specific rifle.

When it comes to resizing, I recommend a full-length sizing die, especially for this caliber. It helps ensure consistent chambering and better accuracy. What dies are you using?

I’ve been using Lee dies, and they’ve treated me well. I find they provide a good balance of performance and value!

Have you thought about the bullet types yet? I’m a fan of using Nosler Partition, but some swear by Hornady Interlock for better expansion.

I’ve tried the Nosler Partition too! Amazing performance, especially on game. Can anyone share their experience on the best grain weight for these bullets?

18

I stick to 100-grain for deer and find great results. However, if you’re looking for target shooting, the 87-grain bullets are more affordable and still accurate.

Great point! It’s all about knowing your purpose. Do you believe lighter bullets offer better accuracy at longer ranges?

Honestly, I think it depends on the gun and the shooter. Personal preference plays a huge role! Just be sure to test before hunting season.
