Question about necking up

22-24-25-26-27-28-30. You'll most likely need unhardened brass ("new") to have much success with it,, and yes, you have to ream and turn your necks when you are done. Way, way easier to just buy 300 Savage brass. - dan

Or you could form .308 to .300 Savage. likely the best solution. Trimming the neck down is a pain, but it's much more practical.
And Wiki-ing the 22-250, it is way way way too short to even make .300 savage. Why are you doing this?

There are a couple of boxes of Lapua 22-250 brass that I was looking at and thought it would be "neat".
The .22-250 is actually 1.912" vs 1.871" for the .300 Savage...but:This sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I've done 7mm RM to .308 Norma in one step, and that was ok - but 6 steps is too much.
Thanks for the answers.

Sorry, my bad. I was obviously looking at the Cartridge OAL, and not the Case OAL as I should have been. Still, more work than it's worth. I'd stick with reshaping .308, but I've been told Remington (or similar) still makes unloaded .300 savage cases. If you have access to a lathe, trimming the .308 cases is really fast, with a proper fixture of course.
What EE said. If you must use different brass, easier to go down then up. Like life. - dan
