22-250

Somebody told me the 22-250 was one of the most accurate rounds to shoot(fast & flat). Is that true?

It is one of the older rounds that was touted for it's accuracy with certain loads. It is a higher velocity round than the .223 and thus is flatter shooting but others like the 220 Swift shoot flatter yet.

I shoot a 22-250 and sub 1/2" 100 yard groups out of my Savage 12BVSS are the norm using BVAC 55 grain ammo loaded with V-Max bullets. The other advantage is the 22-250 is relatively inexpensive compared to rounds like the 220 Swift.

The venerable 22-250 has seen it's day and was well thought of during it's time. Many varminters now consider the .204 superior in accuracy and barrel life. That said, the 22-250 is still a good round.

Yes, it is true.

It is indeed ONE of the most accurate rounds that shoot fast and flat. There are others too.

What do you want to do with it?

BTW, welcome to the forum.

The 22-250 is an old school round, but a good one. Ive shot them in the past with great results. An a fairly reasonable price on factory ammo, and easy to find at most shops.

I'm going to mainly target shoot, but my brother-in-law is from Ohio and likes to hunt groundhogs so I'll be doing that soon.

I own both in 4 different guns..... 22-250 Remington police, 22-250 how axiom, 204 Remington sps, and a .204 reminton Vtr. The 2 22-250s are slightly more accurate out of a vice.....
