Hornady has been making .250 brass for a couple years now, and it's excellent stuff.


Yes, I loaded 100 grain Partitions over R15. They killed everything with it- never recovered a bullet. When my son was going to Law School in Lincoln, he wanted a rifle to deer hunt with. I brought the 250 out to him. Couldn't find brass or loaded ammo at that time except one brand of factory from a boutique loading company. It doesn't specify which bullet- just says 100 grain PSP. Good to hear Hornady is making brass for it today. When I started with this rifle my other option was a 243 (unless I went wildcat). I felt the lower velocity, lower muzzle blast and bigger frontal was better for elk hunting. It has proven to be a great round.
