Yes it do! Last year I purchased a #1 Varmint in .220S because I had always wanted one...trying to find a good source of brass has been a serious pain. Ended up going to Gunbroker to find since most companies were only running it as seasonal.

At least with the .22-250 there is practically unlimited brass availability...and if it does wane, there are a LOT more cartridges that you can make .22-250 cases from than you can for .220S.
