Same here. I have a number of dies, the projectiles, powder and primers. But I haven't loaded a round in 5 or 6 years. I have the equipment still set up and could load if need be. I just don't think I ever would unless it were a SHTF scenario.

I've never seen a rifle chambered for it but it's a great cartridge that hasn't gotten the press it should have. By the way, I have a brand new in the box never used set of RCBS dies for that round. Cabelas shipped them to me instead of 22-250 back years ago, told me to keep them and they'd...
