The Remington UMC 22-250 Remington ammo with 50 grain jacketed hollow point delivers 3820 feet per second and 1620 foot-pounds at the muzzle — velocities that flatten trajectory and accelerate expansion on contact. The 22-250 Remington is a centerfire cartridge engineered for varmint hunting and long-range target work, pairing a .224-inch diameter bullet with a necked-down .250 Savage parent case. This load serves shooters who need repeatable performance on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes from 100 to 300 yards. Remington manufactures UMC-branded ammunition in the United States, using boxer-primed brass cases that reload cleanly and primer pockets that seat standard large rifle primers without modification.
Performance at a Glance
The 50 grain jacketed hollow point expands reliably on varmint-size targets while the thin copper jacket fragments on impact, transferring energy rapidly. Muzzle velocity of 3820 fps places this load at the upper end of the 22-250’s operating envelope — fast enough to achieve flat trajectory without excessive throat erosion in modern bolt-action rifles with chrome-moly or stainless barrels. Brass cases measure to SAAMI spec, headspace correctly in .373-inch bolt face chambers, and extract without case-head separation when fired within pressure limits.
