22-250 Ammo

The .22-250 Remington is a very high-velocity (capable of reaching over 4000 feet per second), short action, .22 caliber rifle cartridge primarily used for varmint hunting and small game hunting, though it finds occasional use on deer. This cartridge is also sometimes known as the .22 Varminter or the .22 Wotkyns Original Swift. Along with the .220 Swift, the .22-250 was one of the high-velocity .22 caliber cartridges. The .22-250 started life as a wildcat cartridge developed from the .250 Savage case necked down to take a .224 caliber bullet. Typical factory-loaded .22-250 Remington can propel a 55 grain (3.56 g) spitzer bullet at 3,680 ft/s (1122 m/s) with 1,654 ft·lbf (2,243 J) of energy. It is particularly popular in the western states of the USA where high winds often hinder the effectiveness of other varmint rounds in prairie dog hunting. There are currently several companies producing the 22-250 like Hornady, Remington, Federal, and Prvi Partizan being just a few. Bullet weights range from 45 to 55 grain which are available in HP and SP. SGAmmo.com | Bulk 22-250 Remington Ammo For Sale | Buy 22-250 Rem ammo Online | Cheap prices for 22-250 ammunition
