Hey fellow shooters and reloaders! I’m diving into the world of .250 Savage and I’ve got my sights set on finding some quality brass, specifically in quantities around 3000. I’m relatively new to reloading, and while I’ve done my fair share of research, I thought it might be helpful to ask the community for advice.
What I’m Looking For:
Where to Buy: I’m on the hunt for trustworthy suppliers that offer .250 Savage brass. Any recommendations on online retailers or local shops that have a good reputation?
Brass Quality: What should I look for in .250 Savage brass? Are there specific brands known for their durability and performance?
Reloading Tips: Any tips on reloading for this cartridge? I’m particularly interested in achieving optimal performance for hunting.
My Background:
I’ve been involved in shooting sports for a little while now, focusing mainly on hunting small to medium game. I’ve used other calibers in the past, but this will be my first experience with the .250 Savage, and I want to make sure I get it right!
General Advice:
If anyone has stories or experiences with .250 Savage brass—good or bad—I’d love to hear them! I’m keen on optimizing my setup and ensuring I have enough quality brass for reloading without breaking the bank.
Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your insights.
If you’re looking for high-quality .250 Savage brass, I recommend checking out Hornady. They have a great reputation for consistency and quality control.
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 tried the Nosler Partition too! Amazing performance, especially on game. Can anyone share their experience on the best grain weight for these bullets?
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.
