Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Making 6.5 Lap brass from .22-250.

Dear all

I am in the process of having my .22-250 Sako 75 re-barrelled in 6.5 Lap.

I have 200 new Lapua cases but I understand it is possible to make 6.5 brass from .22-250 cases.

Is there anyone out there doing this currently? What do I need equipement wise in order to do it?

I have alot of .22-250 brass and I'm thinking it would be handy to use this for everyday hunting as the Lapua brass is quite expensive.

Any pointers on how to would be very appreciated.

Many thanks

JB

No pointers but you're losing the small primer pocket of the Lapua if you go the .22-250 route.

200 Lapua cases should last you an awfully long time.

Yes I did think of the large vs small primer but putting that aside I would still be interested to hear the ins and outs from those who do convert from .22-250 brass etc.

Thanks
