I found this old rifle and want to use it, and don't want to abuse it, and so asked. Which cartridge? 250-3000 That one was made for fast jacketed bullets from the get go. You're all set. Thanks, I have some Speer 87 gr. bullets on the way, no dies, or brass yet, but do have just over a hundred 22-250 brass, and no gun for them anymore.

You'll want some kind of tapered expander, and you should consider annealing the necks first.

With those 87 grain Speers and modern powders you can reach the 3000 mark with moderate pressures and have a genuine 250-3000.
