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.

.250 Savage

The .250-3000 Savage was designed for the Savage Model 99 lever action rifle by designer Charles Newton in 1915. The .250-3000 Savage is better known as the .250 Savage and was an original design from a rimless bottleneck .258 inch (6.6mm) large rifle cartridge. The ballistic performance based off four grain types for velocity is 3,170 ft/s (75 gr), 2,997 ft/s (90 gr), 2,864 ft/s (100 gr), 2,652 ft/s (117 gr). The .250 Savage was designed to be a light weight bullet that could be fired at high velocity for a medium sized game hunting round. It was to compete with cartridges such as the 30-30, 30-06, and 7mm rifles. At first the round was well received, but after being on the market for a while shooters noticed the 87 grain bullet would fragment prior to entering game muscle tissue far enough to do proper lethal damage. The 100 grain cartridge seemed to solve the wound on target issue for medium sized game, but in the 1950s the .243 began to replace the .250 Savage in popularity. Remington produces factory loaded ammunition for the .250 Savage. Hand loading brass can be found for 75-87 grain bullets for use with varmint hunting, and 100-120 grain for medium sized game hunting from dealers such as Hornady, Speer, and Sierra.
