    250 Savage Snap Caps


    Hello all! I have a sweet Savage 14 American Classic in 250 Savage. Looks like no one makes a Snap Cap for that caliber. Any suggestions? I guess some shooters make their own snap caps out of empty brass? Could/would a 22-250 snap cap be adapted to work?

    I would use the tight wad method and make my own. As far as using a 22-250 I would need to refer to the gauge dimension of the angle to be sure. I've made 250 Savage brass but not 22-250 brass, but I think the only difference is the neck diameter and not the gauge dimension.

    Sure, you can buy-use a 22-250 or make your own. Take an empty case, fill the primer pocket level with RTV, allow it to cure and you have a snap cap.

    Bill,

    Good idea...I wondered about replacing the primer with silicone rubber. I may never buy a snap cap again. Off to the garage I go!

    Thank you!

    I've also heard of using a cut down pencil eraser glued in the primer pocket. Bills' idea sounds faster and easier though.

    I don't know why, but for some odd reason he always seemed call me!
