For varmint hunters and precision shooters working open country, the Grizzly Cartridge 22-250 Remington loaded with a 55-grain Jacketed Soft Point delivers the speed and terminal performance the cartridge is known for. The 22-250 Remington ammo exits the muzzle at 3700 feet per second — fast enough to minimize wind drift at extended range while generating 1672 foot-pounds of energy on target. This is a flat-trajectory round built for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and any pest or predator that demands precise shot placement past 200 yards. Grizzly Cartridge Company hand-inspects each manufacturing step to ensure consistent powder charges, uniform bullet seating, and reliable ignition across every box.
Performance at a Glance
The 55-grain Jacketed Soft Point balances expansion with penetration. At impact velocities above 2800 fps, the exposed lead tip mushrooms predictably while the copper jacket controls fragmentation — ideal for thinner-skinned game where you want rapid energy transfer without excessive pelt damage. Brass cases accept Boxer primers and withstand multiple reload cycles when properly sized and trimmed. Flash-suppressed powder keeps muzzle signature low during dawn or dusk hunts when predators are most active.

This load sits in the sweet spot for bolt-action rifles chambered in 22-250 — factory-length COALs feed reliably from internal magazines, and the moderate bearing surface of the 55-grain bullet stabilizes in 1:12″ or faster twist barrels without excessive pressure. Pair it with a quality varmint rifle and a range-verified zero, and you’re equipped for shots that demand both speed and precision. More 22-250 ammo options are available if you’re comparing loads or stocking multiple bullet weights for different wind conditions.
