[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1196536, member: 38494"] I have been reloading for years and always have had commercial cartridges for my rifles. I happened to come across a FNH Mauser chambered for the 22-250 Ackley Improved which was in great shape. So I have been doing some reading and Lapua does make Remington 22-250 brass which then has to be fire formed to fit the brass to the Ackley chamber dimensions. I saw on Nosler's web site they recommend using a starting load with a 50-55 grain bullet and IMR 4895 powder with the bullet into the lands. That way case stretching will be kept to a minimum. Then in my Lyman Cast Handbook they show reloads for the 22-250 for cast bullets using IMR 4227 powder which I have on hand. And Montana bullet company makes a 0.224 55 grain spire point. Would seating the cast bullet to the lands using the cast loading data be an acceptable method? Sure would cut down on barrel wear. Thanks Robert [/QUOTE]
