S&B 22-250 55GR SP 20/500

Description

Sellier & Bellot’s .22-250 Remington load with a 55-grain soft point is built for varmint and predator hunters who need a round that shoots flat at distance and still opens reliably on impact. The soft point construction gives you a lead core that expands on contact rather than punching straight through — useful when you want decisive terminal performance on coyotes or similar-sized animals rather than the near-total penetration you’d get from a full metal jacket. The jacket material, a cupronickel alloy, is engineered to control how that expansion unfolds, slowing the peel-back enough to retain meaningful bullet weight through the target rather than shedding it immediately at the surface.

The 55-grain weight sits in practical territory for .22-250 — heavy enough to hold stability at the ranges this cartridge is typically pushed to, light enough that the round stays well inside the velocity window where the bullet’s ballistic coefficient actually works for it. Muzzle velocity from a 23.5-inch test barrel runs around 3,478 fps, which translates to roughly 1,477 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle and still delivers meaningful energy at 300 yards. Brass cases are boxer-primed, making them reloadable for those who want to extend the value of each box. Packaging in 20-round boxes with a 500-round case quantity suits both the occasional hunting trip and the shooter burning through volume in prairie dog season.
