Hornady Varmint Express 22-250 Rem 50 gr 3800 fps Hornady V-Max (VMX) Ammo 20 Round Box

With its polymer tip and streamlined design, the V-MAX bullet delivers high ballistic coefficients, wind-defying trajectories, and tack-driving accuracy at all practical ranges. The gilding metal jacket, specially designed lead core and polymer tip combine to initiate expansion from the inside out and cause rapid fragmentation of the V-MAX bullet. The brass is chosen to ensure that it meets high Hornady standards for reliable feeding, corrosion resistance, proper hardness, and the ability to withstand maximum chamber pressures. Each powder and primer are carefully selected to provide the best performance for each load.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.

The 22-250 Remington was introduced by Remington in 1965…but that's just part of its story. Based on the 250 Savage case necked down, it was wildcatted in several versions in the 1930s and remained a popular non-standard cartridge for the next 30 years. Remington's factory version was an overnight success! Today the 22-250 is the most popular long-range varmint cartridge, and probably the most popular 22 centerfire after the 223. All ammunition manufacturers offer it. Loads vary, but 50-grain loads run about 3800 feet per second. Heavier bullets are a bit slower, and with bullets of 40 to 45 grains it reaches or exceeds 4000 fps. It is a standard chambering for most manufacturers of bolt action and single-shot rifles, and is legendary for accuracy and performance on varmints. Bullets of 55 grains and below should be used for varmints; hunters wishing to use their 22-250s for deer should choose bullets of 60 grains and more intended for the purpose. — Craig Boddington
