Reply With Quotewhat does it use for brass?
I am getting more interested int this round as I try to decide between a std 22-250 and 22-250 AI. It sounds like like a nice round but the price of the brass has me concerned. Anybody shot one?

The round has some impressive numbers, and feeds through a magazine. It uses excellent brass, you got to pay for the good stuff. The round was developed before Lapua offered 22/250 brass. Yes there is a big difference in price between Lapua 22/250 brass and the 6.5x47 brass. You could also make the 224 off of cheaper 6xc brass, but you would have a large primer. David Tubbs sells the Norma brass for $66 a 100. That route is cheaper than 22/250 lapua brass.

Brass is made from 6.5x47 Lapua. It is essentially a 22-250 Ackley, .050" short.Originally Posted by sinman
The chamber is reamed short to match the length of the brass, and the dies are shortened accordingly.

You can do the samething for a 25 caliber wildcat......hold a 250 Savage AI reamer short.Brass is made from 6.5x47 Lapua. It is essentially a 22-250 Ackley, .050" short.

I am thinking of doing the same thing with a 6-250AI reamer.

It'll work too. ;D
I still havent used the 22-47Lapua reamer yet.
Sooooo many wants and soooo little cash!
Need to get off my butt though. I need a new project.

Fred, what is the process of forming the brass? Also, can you use the 22-250 Lapua brass?
First step is size in 6x47 Lapua die and then the shortened 22-250 AI die, then fireform.
If 22-250 Lapua brass were available at the time, I would not have shortened it. I liked the idea of the 22 x47 Lapua, but no body made GOOD dies yet, and I was not going to spend a fortune on them. By making it an improved, the dilemma of dies and reamer costs were diminished. It is a more efficient case than the 22-250 AI, using less powder to gain the same velocities.

There is the 25 Deerhunter, basically a 250 Improved .100" short.You can do the samething for a 25 caliber wildcat......hold a 250 Savage AI reamer short.
