need info on reloading .250/3000
i am new just registered today. I need help in figureing out whether or not i want to keep my model 99 and reload for it. I found a die set yesterday (hornady FL set) seems hardly used. I have @ 60 cases which were fired from the rifle. Where can i find projectiles? It uses LR primers correct? what might be best powder; i have a friend who will use his dillon 650 to load for me. any help i can get, thanks, joe.

The pet load for mine is 36 grains of reloader 17 with a 75 grain vmax. Mine will shoot those into an inch and a half or less at 200 yards. Other powders that work well are IMR 4064 and H380. It does take large rifle primers and the Hornady bullets in 25 seem to be fairly easy to find. Good luck with it.
thanks for getting back to me. . . . regarding the barrel twist. . . how would i know what it is?
