Down the road again . . . . .

One of my best buddies, that sold me a Rem 700 CDL in 7m-08 just had back surgery and was looking for a lighter in weight and caliber rifle for deer hunting. He had several nice rifles on the trading blanket, one being a Rem LVSF in 22-250. Having never had this caliber I figured why not. I already have a 308 and 280 that hardly ever got used a/c the 7m-08 so . . . the 22-250 is now in the gun rack.

I am doing the research for good loads outta this rifle. Looks like 50 grain beans so far, but I am not sure of the powder etc...Also I have read about only partial resizing or neck sizing to prolong the brass life on this caliber.

Any and all hints from those of you who are experienced is more than welcome.

Hmmm, looks like I better get some Varget.

JD, what is your experience with resizing the brass?

Long,

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I partial FL resize with RCBS dies and haven't had any problems.

That is the answer I was looking for.
