I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I might just give it a try too... I have so much brass right now for my creed that it will take me a long time to burn it up... Does alpha make 22-250 brass...

I’m still using Lapua for my 250, which works great but I’d buy Alpha if I could just since it is made here the US. I do use a bunch of Lapua though. No issues but Alpha is good. Semper Fi
