another thought neck down 300 savage ? The 250 has far more taper in the case body than the 300. That makes it more of a major reforming operation than a simple neck down. The best plan is to secure some Hornady brass or neck up some quality 22-250 stuff.

I would be tempted to use Lapua and neck up. There is also quality 6mm & 22 Creedmoor brass that could work. But the Hornaday would be simple.

Checked my brass, it appears my 300 Savage ain't close to the 250-3000. A 22-250 would be my choice if I didn't have brass. Back in the day I loaded a 22-250 Norma case with Bullseye and no bullet, just a wax plug and fired it. It was just about perfect and just ran it through my 250 Savage die. A quick glance appears that the Creedmoor brass would work.

Butch,
When the Creedmoor first came out, and brass wasn't very available, I formed it from .22-250s using the Cream of Wheat method. Worked perfectly....

Yep!
It's amazing how various companies keep inventing "new" rounds, yet somehow the cases are often closely related to much older ones. The first time I saw a 6.5 Creedmoor case, it looked to me a LOT like the 6.5/.250 RCBS Improved, which differed mainly in having a 28 instead of 30-degree shoulder.
