.22-250 Remington

The Remington 22-250 has been around since the 1960s, when it was initially manufactured. It is a very popular long-range calibre because it produces significantly more energy than previous generations. It has a quick, high-velocity motion. 22 calibre rifle cartridge used mostly for varmint and small game hunting. At 4,450 feet per second, it is now the fastest production cartridge in the world, surpassing the .204 Ruger. Arthur Savage popularized the 22-250 Remington in 1915. The 22-250 was a wildcat cartridge produced from a.250-3000 Savage case necked down to receive a.224 caliber bullet when it was first introduced. The .22-250 cartridge is comparable to the.220 Swift cartridge, although it is far more popular and offers a greater range of commercially available factory ammunition than the Swift. One of the observations about this calibre is that if you need to reach a couple of hundred yards and are looking for something completely flat shooting, this is the calibre for you. Standard factory-installed. 22-250 With 1,654 ftlbf (2,243 J) of energy, Remington can propel a 55 grain (3.56 g) spitzer bullet at 3,680 ft/s (1122 m/s). These bullets have excellent downrange performance on both varmints and targets, but the 1:12 twist rate prevents them from being adequately stabilized. You'll need a.22-250 with a 1:8 twist and a modified barrel to use these heavy-for-caliber rounds. Many outdoorsmen keep a.22-250 Remington in their safe, which they frequently use to hunt coyotes with after the deer season has over. There are numerous alternatives if you're looking for a serious coyote rifle, but you can't go wrong with a.22-250 Remington.

.222 Remington Magnum

The 222 Remington Magnum was designed by Remington in 1958 as a prospective military round for the United States. The.222 Remington Magnum was put into the commercial market after it was rejected. Its ballistic performance was based on the 40, 50, and 55 grain bullets, which had speeds of 3,818 feet per second (40 gr), 3,476 feet per second (50 gr), and 3,294 feet per second (55 gr) (55 gr). Finally, the velocity of 3,818 ft/s (40 gr), 3,476 ft/s (50 gr), and 3,294 ft/s were determined (55 gr). The 222 Remington Magnum was only a short-lived commercially manufactured cartridge. The 222 Remington Magnum was made by extending the casing and shortening the neck of the popular and very accurate. During the 1950s, the 222 Remington cartridge dominated varmint and bench rest shooting. In 1963, the United States Army accepted the 5.56mm and chose the.223, effectively killing.222 Magnum sales overnight. The .222 Remington Magnum ended up serving as the basis for the German-developed 5.6×50mm Magnum sporting cartridge. Typical factory loads for the.222 Remington propel a 50 grain spitzer bullet at 3,140 feet per second (fps) with 1,094 feet per second of muzzle energy (ME). The bullet will strike 1.9" high at 100 yards, 1.7" high at 150 yards, 0 at 200 yards, 3.6" low at 250 yards, and 9.7" low at 300 yards if the factory load is zeroed at 200 yards. The recoil with a 50 grain factory load in a light 7 pound rifle is roughly 3.5 ft. lbs. Overall, the 222 Remington Magnum is a good varmint cartridge with a range of roughly 225 yards.
