As for the rest, my hope is that if the .22-250 sells well, then they will consider the next logical piece; the .221 FB.

I have a 2-page article that will come out in Precision Shooting, in a month or so about the new .22-250 brass.

no no no, tell them even a clutz like me can shorten their 223 brass but I cant stretch it to 204 length!!!

Well Trevort,

I will add it to my list of things they need to make. Do you guys think the .204 is more popular than the .20 Tac..?

in Australia, the answer is yes, vastly so but our market is a fraction of the size of yours so I suppose it doesnt really matter!!!

I'll e-mail my Canadian LAPUA dealer this evening.

It's not April 1 ...is it ?

What is the recommended starting load for that powder in a 250? What is max?

Heck for that matter, where is the load information at for Ramshot powders?

thanks

hey, ramshot has some .17 fireball load data. that's news to me

TIKKA 595 Master Class heavy barrel 24" 1:14 , all factory /no modifications

Using 52 gr. Berger seated 4 thou from rifling
Nosler custom brass
41.0 gr. Big Game
Avg. velocity @ 3900 fps hinging on hot load - bolt lift no problem but the brass life is reduced dramatically.
groups 1/4" @ 200 yds.

Used this load on coyotes this past winter with no care for fur - deadly accurate !

For all the Aussies and Kiwis listening.

I just spoke to Andrew of Custer and he advised it'll be in Australia about April next year. He also advised they are going to produce 308 Palmer brass.

I look forward to it arriving.

I emailed Lapua re time of arrival in NZ, as soon as I saw the first post - no reply. I emailed the NZ importer at the same time - no reply. So, it might be a case of importing it from Oz to NZ when it gets to Oz in April. I still wonder about the measurements of this new brass. If anyone comes across a case or few, could you put a micrometer over the vital statistics and post here please.

John,
Andrew advises that it has not gone into production so I can only assume that Steve's rounds are special production runs. Like so many of these, I'd be careful basing any perditions from those initial run rounds.

Cheers
