The Remington High Performance Rifle 22-250 Remington load launches a 55-grain jacketed soft point bullet at 3680 feet per second from the muzzle, generating 1654 foot-pounds of energy. That velocity puts you in spitzer-class ballistics with the controlled expansion of a soft point — deeper penetration than a hollow point, and terminal performance engineered for varmint and predator hunting where both speed and tissue disruption matter. The 22-250 Remington cartridge is a necked-down .250 Savage case, adopted by Remington in 1965 and favored for its flat trajectory out to 300 yards and minimal wind drift. This load ships in the green-box packaging that has marked Remington hunting ammunition for decades.
Performance at a Glance
Each round uses a brass case with a Boxer primer, making it reloadable for handloaders who dial in their own loads. The jacketed soft point bullet features a pointed spitzer profile that holds velocity downrange better than a flat-nose or round-nose design, and the exposed lead tip initiates expansion on contact. The case is non-corrosive, and the load is supersonic across practical hunting distances. Remington manufactures this ammunition in the United States.
