- The .22-250 Remington is one of the most popular centerfire rifle cartridges available. It was first developed in the late 1940s and has been a favorite among varmint hunters ever since. This cartridge is capable of pushing a 50 grain bullet to velocities over 4000 fps, making it ideal for long range shots on small animals such as squirrels, coyotes, and foxes.When handloading with slower burning powders, the .22-250 can achieve even higher velocities than factory loads and launch heavier bullets for larger game like deer or hogs. The case length is also compatible with some AR-15 platform rifles, allowing for versatility when it comes to hunting platforms.
