250-3000 brass wanted for an orphan 1952 Savage 99 EG. Thanks RM

Wish I could help, I could spare some of mine but it is on the wrong side of the pond.

If you can find .22-250 brass neck expand that.

To ensure proper headspace try neck expanding to 7mm before sizing in a .250 Savage die until the lever just snugly closes.

Then reload as normal.

I find Savage 99s tend towards maximum chamber sizes whilst the brass tends to minimum dimensions so head separation has to be watched out for and case life is short.

If you can find a Lee collet die or a neck sizing die that should prolong case life.

Rifles of your vintage will have a 1 in 14” twist so will work well with 87 grain bullets but are fussy about which 100 grain bullets they will stabilise. Look for flat base semi pointed such as the Speer 100 grain .257”.

Small world, I inherited a 1953 EG (that looks unfired). When I picked it up I ask the man's widow if I could get a few boxes of shells as I figured that ammo would be uncommon. I shamelessly grabbed three boxes from his rather substantial stash (I think he'd understand). Two were antique, one was a box of more modern reloads. I even managed to get a box of the appropriate pills for it on-line (90-grain?), but still haven't found any additional brass. If I'd of been smart, I'd have chosen one that already had glass on it (he had a dozen-plus 99s & I had my pick of several guns) so I could perhaps use it someday on deer. There were several "grey-rats" that were likely ready to go hunting, but I (of-course) was attracted to this one. He had told me several times over the years that one had my name on it, and the one I remember looking at with him was an unscoped-version in .250 with the more-bulbous forend. We never found that gun, and this '53 EG was the only unscoped .250 I could find in his pile. The rest of his collection will go to a favored niece when his bride passes (& she knows nothing of guns). God only knows where they'll go after that.
