But what you do you know about this round&#8217;s capabilities down range? Let&#8217;s explore what the caliber can do with an in-depth look at 22-250 ballistics.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick 22-250 Caliber Facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22-250 Remington is its name, and speed is its game: This .22 caliber rifle cartridge boasts a muzzle velocity that can exceed 4,000 fps. That\u2019s well over Mach 3!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With its 55 grain or lighter bullet and laser-like trajectory, the 22-250 is a varmint round through and through. Some hunters make good use of it for deer hunting via pinpoint shot placement, though.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it is perfectly capable of finding very distant targets, the 22-250\u2019s .224\u201d bullet does its best work before its velocity tapers off to 1,600 fps. That\u2019s approximately 550 yards for a 55 grain projectile.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available with a selection of polymer tip, hollow point, and soft point bullets that complement its fast velocity with rapid terminal expansion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>22-250 Ballistics Chart<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-140\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-140 b-ballistic-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\">Barrel Length<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Muzzle<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">100 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">200 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-6\">300 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-7\">400 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-8\">500 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-9\">Muzzle<\/th><th class=\"column-10\">100 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-11\">200 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-12\">300 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-13\">400 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-14\">500 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-15\">Muzzle<\/th><th class=\"column-16\">100 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-17\">200 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-18\">300 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-19\">400 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-20\">500 yds.<\/th><th class=\"column-21\">(G1)<\/th><th class=\"column-22\">(G7)<\/th><th class=\"column-23\">Sect.

First produced in 1937, the 22-250 essentially existed on the fringe of the shooting world until Browning began offering a rifle chambered solely for it in 1963. That was a bold move by Browning, considering that no major manufacturers were producing 22-250 ammo at the time. Remington followed suit a couple years later, thus cementing the 22-250 as a mainstream cartridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/rifle-ammo-22250-remington\">22-250 ammo<\/a> offers a 55 grain bullet and 3,680 fps muzzle velocity; a 50 grain bullet hits 4,000 fps, and a 36 grain bullet nearly hits Mach <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at 4,250 fps. There\u2019s even a Superformance load by Hornady that maxes out at 4,450 fps, making the 22-250 the fastest factory loaded cartridge on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Varmint Hunting Specialty<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 22-250 sends varmints into low orbit. It\u2019s especially good for social rodents that frantically chirp at one another when one of their clique senses a threat, as its high velocity permits 1,000 yard shots on small game. (In general, the 22-250 works best on coyote within 500 yards.) The 22-250 ballistic profile helped it earn its keep. It has proven especially useful on America\u2019s plains, where crosswinds can quickly turn a slower bullet\u2019s trajectory aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Low Recoil &#8211; High Popularity<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shooting-a-22-250-rifle-at-the-range.jpg\" alt=\"Shooting a 22-250 rifle at the range and measure ballistic properties\" width=\"1200\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shooting-a-22-250-rifle-at-the-range.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shooting-a-22-250-rifle-at-the-range-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shooting-a-22-250-rifle-at-the-range-1024x679.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 22-250 is an appealing cartridge for younger and lighter framed shooters who want to avoid recoil &#8212; it offers substantially less kick than the 243 Win. Whether you can fire a 22-250 to take down a whitetail boils down to your skill level. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/product_info.php\/pName\/20rds-22-250-fiocchi-55gr-v-max-polymer-tip-ammo\">55 grain V-MAX<\/a> through the heart is going to take down a deer right where it stands, no questions asked. Anything aside from that is probably going to result in an aggravating chase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Implications of Twist Rate<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many rifles chambered for 22-250 feature barrels with 1:12 rates of twist. While handloading a 22-250 round with a bullet heavier than 55 grains is possible, a barrel with so slow a twist rate is not going to give such a bullet the stability it needs to fly true. You would do better to stick with 223 Rem if you want to shoot 62 and 75 grain projectiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><i>Other 22-250 Attributes<\/i><\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as the \u201c22 Varminter\u201d or \u201c22 Wotkyns Original Swift.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inferior ballistic performance to the 220 Swift that came out two years later, but far more commercially available and less costly as the result.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 22-250 feeds reliably from a box magazine thanks to its rimless case.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">British and Australian Special Air Service regiments have both used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awm.gov.au\/collection\/C303744\">Tikka M55 sniper rifles<\/a> chambered for 22-250 for counter-terrorism efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An in-depth look at the 22-250 Remington&#8217;s capabilities and 22-250 ballistics, including velocity, energy and bullet drop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[229],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ballistic-chart"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
