Gun Descriptions

.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.

.25-06 Remington

The 25-06 Remington takes its design from a marriage of the quarter-inch bore and Charles Newton’s .30-60 Springfield cartridge. This necked-down version of the .30-60 has existed as a wildcat cartridge since its inception around 1920, introduced by the A. O. Nidner. The cartridge came at a time when the conditions encouraged independent gunmen to experiment with it. This, and the release of the IMR 4350 in 1940, which greatly improved the performance of the .25-06 case, increased the popularity of the wild-cat cartridge. Thus, the natural occurrence was its commercialization which occurred in the late 1960s by the Remington Arms company. A factory load of 100 to 117 grains can be easily propelled at a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps, generating energy levels up to 2500 ft-lbs. The .25-06 is a flat-shooter that is effective over 350 yards (with nothing more than a 5-inch difference above or below your aiming point) as well as 50 yards. The flatness minimizes range-estimation errors and provides quality shot placement, making it a fine cartridge for hunting anything from coyotes to large deer. Lighter weight bullets are used in this cartridge, giving it lower recoil than its counterpart, the .30-60, in a similar weight rifle. This kick is bearable, but shoot for a long time at a stretch and the recoil begins to turn unpleasant. If you have got a bolt-action or a single-shot rifle, you will notice that most often than not it offers, as its standard chamber,.25-06. It still remains a top experimental cartridge, which can be hand loaded (or reloaded) to the users' satisfaction.
