For shooters who burn through volume at the range or in the field, Remington UMC 22-250 Remington ammo offers consistent performance at a working price. The 45 grain jacketed hollow point exits the muzzle at 4000 feet per second, delivering 1598 foot-pounds of energy — enough authority for varmint work out to 300 yards while maintaining rapid expansion on impact. Brass cases wear boxer primers, making every hull reloadable for handloaders who track their brass. Non-corrosive propellant and primers keep your bore clean across long strings of fire.
Load Profile
This load pairs a 45 grain JHP with a charge optimized for the 22-250’s overbore capacity. The jacketed hollow point construction balances penetration with expansion — the copper jacket controls deformation during feeding and initial impact, while the hollow cavity promotes petal formation once resistance drops inside soft tissue. At 4000 fps, you’re working with a flat trajectory inside 250 yards and minimal wind drift in field conditions. Expect sub-MOA capability from quality bolt guns with 1:12 or 1:14 twist barrels — the 45 grain weight stabilizes cleanly in standard varmint-weight barrels without requiring faster twists.
