My Late model 99 A 250 Savage had a large chamber had to use fire formed 22-250 cases sized to chamber to get good case life.
Sold it with disclosure, plus it was not that accurate, wanted a 99 250 1 in 10 twist scoped, that was accurate.
Cases fired in the newer 99 A would not even come close to fitting in my other 2 older 99 EG,s in 250 Savage.
New Rem factory ammo was fired in all rifles, seems to be a combo of smaller brass and large chambers would be my guess.

One merely needs to whittle/carve/sand away a bit of wood, off the back end of the forearm in order to offset the setback of the barrel. Easliy done

Get a box of Hornady brass.Winchester brass has been way undersized in 250 since the '70's.If you lightly oil the round it will form perfectly,then if you reload set your die so it doesn't touch the shoulder.I've got Win 250 brass fired at least 10 time's with this method.A tip from when I corresponded with P.O.Ackley on a regular basis in the early 80's.The 250 is the biggest offender of this.If you reload Win 250 brass the normal way you'll get head seperation's usually after about 3 firings.The manufacterer's make the brass as small as they dare.I'll bet there's nothing wrong with your fairly new rifle.

And then there are those who say you can't find a good gunsmith for the 99.
