FED PWRSHK 22-250REM 55GR SP 20/200

Description

Federal’s Power-Shok line has long served hunters who want reliable field performance without paying a premium for features they don’t need. This .22-250 Remington load is built around a traditional jacketed soft point bullet, a construction choice that matters for terminal performance: the exposed lead tip initiates expansion on contact with soft tissue while the copper jacket controls that expansion and retains enough structural integrity to penetrate adequately on varmints and small predators. It’s a straightforward design without bonding or a partition, which means expansion is aggressive and fast — exactly what you want on a coyote or groundhog at moderate distances, where rapid energy transfer is more important than deep penetration.

The 55-grain bullet leaves the muzzle at 3,650 feet per second, and the published ballistic coefficient of .208 tells you something useful: this is not a long-range specialist. Wind drift accumulates meaningfully past 300 yards, so this load suits hunters who engage targets inside that distance rather than those stretching shots across open terrain. At the ranges where .22-250 most commonly earns its keep, the trajectory is flat and the retained energy is sufficient. Brass is reloadable, and Federal uses their own primers and propellant, so the round-to-round consistency reflects a single manufacturer’s quality control rather than assembled components from multiple sources. Each box contains 20 rounds.
