WSR= Winchester Small Rifle. Those will work with the 223, which uses small rifle primers.
For the 22-250, you need large rifle primers, so, no, the WSR's would not work. You need WLR's.

Hopefully, if you are actually reloading, you should have one or (preferably) more loading manuals, all of which will tell you the right size primer to use for any cartridge.

Now to really confuse the issue! If you were to find some of Remington's URBR cartridges and reform them into .22-250 cases, you could actually use small rifle primers. I have reformed over 1,000 of the cartridges and found no disadvantages in using the smaller primers. Actually I found that the round to round consistency was increased by using small rifle primers. Occasionally I find a cartridge that was over annealed and has a slight hang-fire (you can hear the click of the firing pin just as the cartridge goes off.) I don't think that I have more than five or six of them in the entire collection.
