Bullet Performance

The 22-250 Remington is known for its high velocity and rapid terminal expansion, making it an ideal round for varmint hunting. The 55-grain bullet offers a muzzle velocity of approximately 3,680 feet per second (FPS), which quickly drops to 1,600 FPS at approximately 550 yards. This high velocity is particularly useful for targeting small game at longer distances, such as coyotes within 500 yards. The round's ability to retain its energy over distance ensures that it remains effective for hunting varmints and medium-sized game.

Ballistics

The 22-250 Remington is capable of achieving velocities exceeding 4,000 FPS with lighter bullets, making it an excellent choice for long-range shooting. However, its performance is optimized with bullets weighing 55 grains or less, which ensures stability and accuracy. The round's laser-like trajectory and rapid expansion make it a reliable choice for pinpoint shot placement.

Hunting Applications

The 22-250 Remington is popular among hunters for its ability to take down varmints and medium-sized game. The round's high velocity and rapid expansion ensure that the bullet remains effective even at longer distances. The 55-grain bullet is particularly useful for hunting deer, provided that the shot is placed accurately. The round's relatively low recoil also makes it a suitable choice for younger and lighter-framed shooters.

The S&B 22-250 55GR SP 20/500 ammunition is an excellent choice for hunters and shooters seeking high performance in a varmint round. Its semi-jacketed soft point design ensures controlled expansion and high weight retention, making it a reliable and effective option for a variety of hunting applications. Whether you are targeting small game or medium-sized game, the 22-250 Remington is a versatile and powerful cartridge that can be trusted to perform consistently. Consider this ammunition for your next hunting trip and experience the benefits of its high velocity and reliable performance.
