22 - 250 Remington ammunition is an incredibly fast round, capable of throwing a 40 grain bullet more than 4,000 feet per second. This speed is absolutely stunning and adds to the small round’s kill potential. The 22 - 250 Remington is a short action round, meaning the rifle is easier to handle, faster to fire.

Common .22-250 Questions

Is the .22-250 Remington a Rimfire Cartridge?

No. Unlike a few smaller rifle cartridges, such as the .22 Long Rifle and .17 HMR, the .22-250 Remington is not a rimfire cartridge. This is a centerfire round, which allows for easier case reloading and is the popular choice for medium to large-caliber cartridges.

How Was the .22-250 Remington Named?

Like the cartridge itself, the name comes from the .250-3000 Savage, a cartridge that had roughly a .250-inch diameter, could reach 3,000 feet per second, and was developed by Savage Arms. The .22-250 Remington has a bullet diameter of roughly .22 inches but uses a necked down case from the .250-3000 Savage. In honor of its predecessor, Remington manufacturers kept “250” in the name.

How Fast is the .22-250 Remington?

Fast! The typical .22-250 Remington cartridge has a muzzle velocity over 3,500 feet per second, and you can find products that are rated above 4,000 feet per second. For example, Hornady’s 40-grain V-Max has a listed muzzle velocity of 4,150 feet per second. Even larger bullets display a high level of speed; the 55-grain Varmint Express has a muzzle velocity of 3,680 feet per second, which is certainly an impressive number.

How Does the .22-250 Remington Compare to the .223 Remington?

These are very similar bullets, although they are not interchangeable whatsoever. Generally, you will find that the .22-250 Remington has lighter bullets but faster energy and faster trajectories. As we said earlier, the .22-250 can reach speeds faster than 4,000 feet per second, while .223 Remington ammunition tends to top out at about 3,750 feet per second. The .22-250 has listed muzzle energy of 1,500 foot-pounds, while the .223 Remington only reaches about 1,300 to 1,400 foot-pounds for most products found on store shelves. To see an in-depth comparison, check out our 22-250 vs. 223 guide here.

How Does the .22-250 Remington Compare to the .22 Long Rifle?

It’s really not much of a comparison. Despite these both being “.22” cartridges, the .22-250 Remington is far more powerful and delivers greater speeds. .22 Long Rifle ammo is a rimfire round and rarely reaches 1,700 feet per second, while the .22-250 can go over 4,000. The .22 Long Rifle, which has bullet that weigh about 30 to 40 grains, can just barely get above 200 foot pounds of muzzle energy, while the 22-250 can easily reach 1,500 foot pounds or more. The advantage of the .22 Long Rifle, however, is price; it’s one of the most affordable rounds on the market. But when it comes to accuracy, speed, and energy, it doesn’t come close to the .22-250 Remington.

I was just reading on another site about an 22-250 whether or not it was a viable gun for deer hunting. Last year I lost my wife February 5th my best friend 3 weeks before that to a dog that drug him down and he hit his head on the pavement and his sister a month before that fell in her kitchen and broke her neck and starved to death but I received this 22 250 and it was much lighter than my other rifles so I loaned my daughter my 30-30 which I always carried and had a 308 Winchester I had plenty of guns but I tried this rifle out and I was really impressed by it. I had three deer come in behind the house about 150 yards and I squeezed off on the first one and it dropped just down it went and the second one and the third one they both had ran but the second one didn't go very far. I pulled the rifle up and squeezed and that one went down. Well I was thinking my daughter's freezer is going to be full and that silly deer the other one walk back in just and then one shot I put that one down it may have ran 15 yards so anyone that says that 22 250 is not capable then they're not capable but that's just my opinion.

The very best I have ever used, 2 one shot kills, one at 175 yards dropped in his tracks, the other at 150 went 10 yards and dropped. I will be buying more, and have told many friends, who will be trying it. Great Job Federal Ammo.
