.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.

.225 Winchester

A short burst to fame and an equally speedy staunching of that story of success is the fate of the .225 Winchester. Taking its design from the .219 Zipper, the .225 Win was created to be a fitting replacement for the .220 Swift, and it was a success that was, unfortunately, not long-lasting. When the Winchester Arms Company introduced the .225 Winchester in 1964, it soon became the go-to for long-range varmint shooting. The cartridge had three default factory loads; a 50 grain, a 55 grain, and a 60 grain, with the 50 grain being capable of traveling at 3800 fps, and the 55 grain exiting at 3600 fps. With its modern straight-tapered design, the .225 Win offers long-range, flat-shooting varmint and small game hunting with impressive accuracy. Providing the impressive performance of the .220 Swift without its destructive tendencies to the barrel, this cartridge overtook previous varmint shooters. It was also able to keep a 1-inch difference above and below the aiming point over a 100-yard distance. The only rifles that chambered this cartridge were turn-bolts or brake actions, specifically the model 70, model 670, and the Savage 340. This was a limiting factor, however, because had the rifle been chambered in more rifles, it would have held on to its fame for a while longer than it had. In just a little over a year, the hot fledgling was totally eclipsed by another, the .22-250 Remington, when the older wild-cat cartridge became commercially produced and chambered in the Browning High Powered Rifle and model 700. The difference wasn’t in the performance, as both were identical in that regard, but in the ability to discern the market. In 1971, Winchester ceased production of the .225.
