Thread: Newbie wants to reload for 22-250

not essential...good to have but not essential...I have trimmed brass using rather agricultural methods but measured,measured and measured again....for one or 3 reloads you possibly will get away without trimming at all....Im using my .223 inner and measuring as I cut back neck.... the bits to do it properly from LEE arent expensive...RGB dies are less than box of factory ammo ,that costing $59,99 so $3 a shot !!!!!!
you COULD use a file..just measure lots...Ive used angle grinder...yip thats right....but was gentle....and measured lots...
a good measuring stick is most valuable tool,set of micrometre/slidey thingies is perfect for the job...look likes a ruler crossed with pipe wrench...or capitol F you can measure case length...overall cartridge length...
the other very important tool is a pen or pencil...to write down what load you have made up...so if its good,you can repeat endlessly.

you WILL NEED case deburring tool...pointy one end and like rocket legs on other...trims inside and outside of case neck after you have trimmed it..agriculturally or otherwise... also good if have hornady brass or milserp brass with crimped primer pockets,quick twirl and the primers slip in easy...
