Hey WhoTeeWho👋
We love Who tee who!!
I'm thinking I would love it to
Big fan bro!
The 22-250 is the ONLY cartridge where I have never heard of anyone who didn't absolutely love their's. I have wore out two rifles and can attest that barrel life is not bad at all.
It is the best rifle is a Remington 7400, I would shoot a bear twice with a Hornady butterfly hollow point, and it will die. I guarantee.

The 22-250 has been my daily rifle for the last 40 years. I've taken every type of game from feedlot rats to deer with the rifle. Though I've acquired more than a dozen rifles in this caliber, my original and favorite is an old Remington 700 BDL varmint special that my Dad purchased new in the late 60's. My longest shot on a coyote was a stepped off 580 yards with a Speer 52 grain HP.
I inherited the same rifle from my grandfather and its an extremely nice rifle and functions like its new still
Love this round. 55 grains going 4,000 fps is effective!
Bullshit
The 22-250 and 243 are my most beloved and most often grabbed rifles!
I broke the third metacarpal bone in my right hand the day before opening deer season. No time for a cast in deer camp and as a right handed shooter, I had to use my 22-250 with 64 grain Nosler bonded bullets at 3500 fps. Dropped a nice 8 pointer in his tracks at 125 yards. Couldn’t have made that shot with any caliber that had recoil. The 22-250 gets the job done!
Good deal! 👍👍👍
I’ve killed a lot of deer with it, but I find people are squeamish when I tell them about it. Strange.
I've killed quite a few deer with a 22 Hornet. if that'll get the job done 22 250 really well but it comes down to Bullet selection.
'couldnt have made that shot with any caliber that had recoil' makes no sense at all. the 1st shot out of a gun goes wherever you aim it, recoil doesnt affect aim until after the 1st round is out.
@@bradhaines3142 you have a degree of logic, except. Logic also dictates, "flinching", when you know the recoil will cause horrible damage, your likely going to flinch and pull the shot. When you have a light recoil rifle, your confidence is higher. -- like I say, you have a degree of logic. His is better though.
It's a 22 caliber laser pulse.
I had a 220 Swift. Practically vaporize a 1gallon water jug within 40 yards with a 40gr pill doing 4,200 fps.
While the Swift was my first cartridge love, I haven't owned one in twenty years. The 22-250 is basically identical in terms of performance, there are many more loads available, and you can actually find ammo. If you reload, the 22-250 is still a better choice. Brass for the Swift can be difficult to source. Here in the Midwest, the 22-250 is absolutely king. Followed by the 243 Winchester, then the 223. Hardly anyone around here uses the 204 Ruger. It really struggles in the wind with those lightweight bullets.
Having taken deer with 22 hornet, 222rem, 223 rem, and 225win I can say unequivocally that .22 center fires definitely can take deer. Wouldn’t be my “recommendation” for a deer cartridge for everyone but they work surprisingly well.
It'll work, but if youre getting a deer cartridge you mayswell get 270 or up for bigger game as well
The beauty is it will always open up and leave a big wound exit.
@@nathanielwowchuk6880 That is a good argument, but using a Remington 7400 setup for 22-250, you have the frame there once the battery cycle is optimized. The 22-250 in my experience has always reliably opened up a Nosler or Hornady hollow point I have seen a wound track that opened to a 50 caliber projectile that retained the energy to go through a skull, spine bounce around while still spinning in the soft tissue and make a big jagged exit wound. I wish our military could be armed with one man per squad equipped with an automatic weapon with this cartridge. It is a good 👍 example of ballistic effect.
got my young nephews deer hunting with 22-250 and so far all have fallen with no tracking needed. they practice all summer with 55gr fmj reduced loads and deer season comes around and I have them setup with 53gr Barnes TTSX.
Back in the day poachers commonly used Hornet, I know a guy who took Mule Deer with his

Both are great Calibers ! 👍
I took my first dear with this round and absolutely love it. Dear dropped dead in it's tracks.
Amazing to me how many people dont know of the 22 250 or just dont consider it. Everyone wants all the new fangled cartidges but the 22 250 has proven itself over the years!
I took my 3 first deer with one I too love 22-250!
I’ve owned several 22-250’s over the years for groundhog hunting. Absolute lasers! Just picked up an old savage 110 bolt rifle chambered in the parent cartridge, 250-3000 savage. So one for little stuff and one for deer size game. Good combo
22-250 What an amazing round. Takes deer no problem at all. Devastating speed and accuracy. My current round of load development has yielded consistent groups smaller than 0.300 “ with the best being 0.185” at 100 yards and consistent ES & SD numbers of just in the double figures with the best being 2 & 5. Cheap to hand load as well.
I’m looking at getting a 22-250 mostly for range use but also groundhog, coyotes and deer 100 yards or closer. Would it work for that deer application with the right bullets?
I use 22-250 and its probably my favorite caliber to shoot. Currently running a Remington 783 shooting Hornady Superformance 50gr Vmax and its an absolute tack driver out to 500yds.
My favorite for ground hogs, especially at a distance. It definitely has some impressive performance on impact.
Ground hogs, like boars have thick skin. The Capybaras are showing up in Florida, you want to shoot them dead, they have front teeth like a Rat and they can kill cattle and domestic hogs, plus pets and children.
I've never been a trend guy but as a gunsmith I truly see the advantage of the newer cartridges for handloaders. For factory ammo guys the classics are king and for varmint weight bullets they are great. For the heavies though go with the new cartridges every time.
The 22-250 is everything you said and more, I don't mind going to a P-dog town and shooting 300 to 400 rounds of it in a day. Same as shooting 500 rounds of .223. Barrels are expendable, they are a wear item, this is why they have gunsmith's! I don't think I have one rifle that doesn't have a replacement barrel on it. I have re-barreled my 2, 22-250's 3 times each and am waiting for a new barrel from Brux so I can spin up my third rifle in it. If you reload for it you really need to anneal your cases every time, and having a lot of cases is smart if you shoot it a lot. Brass by brand is Lapua and Norma with everything else as needing a lot of work. Twist wise it should have a 1/12 , a 1/10 or 9 even better and as reach out and make a coyote have a bad day as he hangs up just below the ridge line a 1/8 twist with a gain twist barrel from Bartlein 9 twist to 8 twist. And if your right handed get it a left hand twist.
Gospel!
As an AR lover, I'm glad BCA is coming out with a 22-250 upper. I might rank it up with my 6.5 Grendel which is my current coyote rifle. Great video!!!
Damn that’s exciting
I have a fast twist .22-250 that I load a 80gr ELD-M up to 3280fps. Super accurate and hits amazingly hard....one of my favorites as well.
what powder?
my 600/1000 fclass open load was 80gr berger with H414 at 3250fps. I ended up using it for whitetail out to 775 yds instead of burning the barrel out shooting at paper. my buddys called it the laser beam. 100yd zero to 600yd was only 8.2moa drop I think it was.
The 243 does the same and in the 243 WSSM it pushes a 55 grain over 4000 fps. Also can take deer size animals with ease. But for just varmint hunting, the 22-250 is great
I agree, many people don't realize that the .243 approaches 4000 fps.
I would like to see some information on the barrel life of those two cartridges when pushing a bullet that fast. Granted, the .22-250 isn’t exactly easy on a barrel either, but 4,000 fps is cooking pretty good.
Yeah. I've been building a lot of 243 1/9t lately
The 243 was not made to be loaded that hot. The bullets are heavy and a bull barrel is a must. The 257 Roberts is a good round, better aerodynamics and it like the 22-250 with the bull barrel have good twist and are made for the aerodynamic cartridges. Also the 257Roberts and 22-250 end up on better compensated ballistic frames. A set of 22-250s have the juice to operate a Remington 7400 semi-automatic and the gun actually likes some smith work to keep in timing with the aerodynamics of the round in quick battery. It can cycle really crazy and never hurt a gun made for a .270 or .30-06. I just love seeing the hit on the target before you register the report and have to go back to first principle to prevent a flinch. The sight through the scope and micro second delay in anticipation can throw off even the best trained person. It is amazing.
Absolutely love the 22-250
Just acquired my Dad's Remington 700 BDL VLS in 22-250
We were shooting a 22-250 at 500 yrds in 20mph winds at balloons tied to the tops of hay growing in the field! We had some hits and lots of misses! But from a training aspect it was a great challenge
I love my 22-250 I’ve killed tons of groundhogs and a few deer with it. It is one of my favorite rounds
I just wish there were more factory loads in the 55-70gr range. I understand North America caters to the 1:14 and 1:12 twist but there are a growing number of rifle options with faster twist to accommodate bullets for longer range and/or big game. Hopefully that trend continues and we see some more heavy options in factory loads.
I love the 22-250, but I like my 220 Swift more. Great content my friend.
Same here Dan I love my swift
Agreed but you have to be a hand loader. My swift has taken everything from groud squirrels to whitetails.
@@jfox71 hand load is the only way to go
I have a ruger m77 in the 220 swift since 1976 and I handload and it still shoots great.

Great white tail and Varmit round.
“The .22 with the most giddy up!”
I have a heavy, long barreled 22-250. My magneto speed reads the 50 gr vmax superformance factory loads at 3996. I'm not sure that I believe it, but all of the drops out to 500 seem to line up. It truly is an incredible round.
I use a 22" 22-250 and shoot 53gr varmageddons at 3875 so I could see the 50s at almost 4000.
@@nocturnalspecialties642You can actually exceed 4,000 with 50gr bullets out of a 26 inch barrel
@@UI_Shaggy05 yea. I just never had any decent accuracy pushing them that fast.
@@nocturnalspecialties642 Then you probably need a faster twist rate in your barrel
Mine too buddy. Make them make brass again. The entire world loves it
Growing up there was a guy in my neighborhood that had a garage wall full of mule deer skulls ranging from good to great bucks. He took most of these with a .22-250 Rem.
It's a versatile little round I love ot
22-250 is a cool cartridge, but I always say whatever it can do the .243win can do better. .243 can push 55gr projectiles right near 4000fps, then if you wanna shoot deer you can use a 95 or 100 grain bullet at 31-3200fps. Much more adequate for deer size game but still can be a great varmint round. .243win doesn’t get enough love
Best gun out there i own a 22/250 Remington bolt action and a 306 all i ever use is the 22/250.
Best kill i got 620 yards 12 point buck.
I’ve been wanting to pick up a 22-250. I miss Utah. Moved to upper state New York and you can’t fart without someone from law enforcement doing a drive-by
I have a Remington Model 723 BDL Deluxe rechambered from .222 to 22-250!

But I will pass down my 22-250 to my sons or grandchildren.

Doesn’t hunt But really enjoys shooting and the 22-250 is perfect for her.
Amen... speed is always an advantage
Love the 22-250; I’ve got two of them, and both insanely accurate. No dramas for knocking over pigs, dogs, foxes, etc., and with the option to stretch things out a bit should the need arise.
With varying loads? Which load do you use on pigs?
@@matthewknight1910 the 55 grain Hornady V-Max have no dramas knocking them over, and I couldn’t see an issue with those Sierra Super Roos either. Both projectiles seem to work best up around maximum recommended load.
@@2clicksup910 thanks mate 👍🏼 happy hunting
It's a great round but I also prefer my 220 swift and you can bump 4000 fps it is also deadly accurate it has a long well documented history of being very lethal on small and medium to large size game you should give it a try
Try 204 ruger it's even faster then the 220 or 22.250
King, why would anyone want a cartridge with the limited cartridge case availability of the Swift? That, along with the throat stress of most loads would about kill the good points of a good cartridge that is going the way of the Do-Do. The 22 Creed is a more than capable replacement for anyone wanting a little more zip than the Varminter can produce.
@@TODinWY The 22 Creedmoor is an impressive round and the 220 swift has its availability issues but all rifleman are not hand loaders. Unfortunately at this time this is still largely a wildcat cartridge out of reach for people who don't hand load or have time to load there own ammo
@@TODinWY read what you posted 220 swift throat erosion this isn't the 40s or 50s i own a swift. All and 22 creedmoor don't forget it's moving along also with some speed the swift will always be the velocity king period.
@@PeterParker-hw5rv the 204 ruger is not faster than the swift better do some more reading on it
Too much meat damage on deer, assuming you're at reasonable range. Also, the .22 bullet will fly all over the place in anything other than calm wind conditions, If you have to shoot thru brush, well, forget it. Also, the higher speed rounds can produce some really impressive throat erosion in your rifle...so enjoy it while you can. For some 55 years now, I've been handloading the 6mm Remington I bought when my father bought his 22-250. An excellent hunter and rifle shot himself (he was 20/17 in his 'shooting' eye) he kept the rifle for about 2 weeks at which time he returned it to the shop he bought it at. (you used to be able to do that :) He then bought his all time favorite rifle, a pre-67 Winchester model 70 in 270 with which I don't recall him EVER missing a killing shot. The longest one I ever saw him make, was at a big buck Mule deer cross a Colorado mountain valley and up the side of the mountain. It was so far, neither I nor anyone else in the hunting party could even see the deer he said he was going to shoot. Leaning across the hood of his old Jeep ( you used to be able to do that too:) He fired a single round. None of us saw a damned thing move. He took the rounds out of the magazine, and calmly announced " Got Him:) At this point none of us believed him, and frankly were a bit irritated that he had clearly spooked every deer in that valley with the shot. He then smiled, and sent my brother across and up the mountain to find the buck, telling him that HE had to stay put so as guide my bro to where the Deer fell.
With the rest of us grumbling and bitching, it took my brother about an hour to get to where Dad motioned him to go, then another 20 minutes or so searching around before he suddenly disappeared then reappeared with both hands waiving over his head. The Buck had been standing on a small rocky outcropping shaded by the pines, and when he died he dropped into a heavy thicket just below. My bro couldn't find him, until he climbed up on to the rock and looked straight down into the brush at his feet. Of course this was before electronic rangefinders, but my guess would've put the shot at something over 700 -750 yards, maybe a bit more due to the elevation above us. Took HOURS to drag that buck down to where we could get the jeep close enough to load him up. If I remember right, was 8 points on one side and seven on the other- a BIG Muley:)
I tell you all this, because my dad could SHOOT, and the reason he returned the 22-250 was that it slung bullets all over the place in the varying winds and scrub we usually hunted. Both Rifles were Winchester Model 70's. I suppose it MIGHT have been a problem rifle, but the owner of the shop had his gunsmith look it over and he found no obvious defects. As for my 6mm :) my brother got his .243 the same day, with which he proved to be simply deadly, even off-hand out to 300=350 yards; while I preferred the larger case capacity of the 6mm Rem (Dad let us both choose what we each wanted- was a magic day:) Past 375 yds or so, I could outshoot him (still can :), but not off-hand as his skill is just freaky in that regard. I once flushed a good sized buck and could only watch wistfully as it bounded away down broken terrain below me when I heard the shot from above and behind me and to the right. Bro hit that buck right in the base of the skull in mid jump when one of his leaps momentarily raised his head above the brush- just short of oh, 200 odd yards from me and about 250 from where he was behind me. Wasn't the only time i saw him do stuff like that :)
Oh is that all?
@@Icutmetal lol, if you get old enough, you'll find that when you get started on a subject dear to you, things just start to flow from those memory cells:) sorry if my lack of brevity offended you.
My first deer gun was a savage 222 rem, and I still have it. When I bought my first gun myself, a 30-06, I used the 222 rem for varmint hunting , until I got a 22-250 and fell in love. Taken a lot of deer, many pigs, and countless varmints with that 22-250 and it’s never failed. I killed a big 8 point whitetail buck at 260 yards and a nice 3x3 muley at 150 yards with it and neither deer went more than 50 yards before folding up. Pigs in the head don’t stand a chance. I love that caliber and the accuracy of my Remington 700 using hornady 55 gr v max. It’s definitely not my go to deer rifle but I would not hesitate to shoot a deer in season if saw one while varmint hunting.
I have been looking for a good used 222 savage. Can you help out?
@@gradyhernandez4699 I saw a couple on gunbroker awhile back. Start there and look periodically
Great to reload. I like the 52 grain Sierra HPBT with IMR 4031 Powder
Wonderful channel! Can’t get enough! Keep it coming!
I have 2. Remington 788 and 98 Mauser my had dad built by J E Gebby back in early 50s. It has a Unertl ultra varminter scope and 26" barrel. Problem was Gebby 22-250 chamber isnt as forgiving as Remington so I had it brought to SAMI Remington specs and can now use off shelf ammo. No longer restricted to reloading fire formed brass only.
Tiny bullet going mach 100. An absolute tack driver. I inherited a Remington 700 chambered in this anb love it.
I personally dunno how it'd do at the long range shooting on coyotes. But just before deer season I took a yote up close and personal (like 15yds tops) from doing predator-calling with Hornady's 35gr NTX .233 Rem, that touts 4000fps! And I was shocked with it's wounding on that close-up shot like that. I didn't know yotes had that much blood in them! I do realize though that being a close-up shot virtually anything would look more impressive then it normally does. I gave it a try after seeing the FoxPro TV channel guys use that same projectile in a .22-250 offering they also make with it, and I was impressed. And it hits so fast I saw some of the action happen in the scope! I'd say exit was a lil less than golfball sized. Entrance wound, the hole, was like... size of a dime or penny maybe? Definitely give that round a try if you wanna pump-up your favorite .223 Rem rifle platform with some more velocity for the yotes!
My dad has used the 22-250 for moose for years
243 is my go to coyote gun
Sorry to differ... but i have a 55 grn nosler ballistic tip in my 6mm remington that does just as well. It is the old model 788 in a left hand bolt. The rifle was purchased new 42 years ago. Still a tack driver. 55 grn hp at 100 yards .23 moa. We all have our favorites, this is mine!
My favorite varmint caliber. Flat shooting and super lethal for prairie dogs to coyotes.
A Barnes bullet or a bonded bullet in the 20 to 50 with the correct twist is a game changer on performance of deer shooting
Love my 22-250 rifles
Excellent job man! Thanks for mentioning it's affinity for coyotes. We need to thin out those dogs! 😆
As a handloader I love the 22-250. If I didn’t make my own I would buy a 223. 250 prices are expensive.
I presently own rifles in 17 different cartridges. But when it comes down to having fun with a rifle, my .22-250s are hard to beat.
Love the 22-250, Love the 22-250AI even more!
Lunchtime drop! Love it
How to carve a watermelon quickly! 😆
I've got 2 rifles chambered in 22-250REM and had a custom built in 22-250AI... With my handloads shooting the 55gr Varmageddon I'm stacking shots inside 3/8" at almost 3700fps. I haven't started working up a load for my AI yet but can't wait for the weekend because I'll get to shoot my 1st handloads with the 77gr SMK to start then going to the 53gr V-max because my other rifles won't stabilize it... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
You are spot on about the 22-250. I've been reloading it since 1971. Just make sure you understand barrel twist as most have 1:14 OR 1:12 twist rates and will not stabilize conventional cup and core bullets over 60 grains.
His Bergara is a 1:9 twist so atleast hes sorted!
Awesome explanation thank you!
Just bought my first 22-250 I have owned many many other calibers I can't wait to shoot it and do some comparisons
LOVE the 22 250. I once saw my dad knock down a standing woodchuck at almost 300 yards. The rifle was the cheapest Remington available at the time with a cheap Tasco scope. I don't recall the rifles model number. I also saw him head shoot a swimming muskrat at 200 yards or so. I wish I was as good as him, but alas, I'm not. Once he got too shaky to shoot I took the rifle out west with me; our house was robbed and the SOB took my dad's rifle. Oh well.
Good information, well presented! 👍Keep it up!
Versus 22 Creedmoor? Do you think this 22 Creedmoor will make it or dominate the caliber wars, or will the 22-250 stomp it out? The 22-250 AI is basically identical to the 22 Creedmoor. Tikka is now selling the 22-250 with a 1x8 twist, like the Creedmoor. Love to see a discussion on this
Personally I think one of the best rounds that lost popularity is the 257 Roberts. It is so close many of today's trendy cartridges and no doubt would benefit from today's bullets and powder.
I like the 22-250. But I LOVE the .243. Does everything the 22-250 does plus a little bit more
Exactly. It will push a 55 gr 4000, and have more versatility for longer, heavier bullets if needed from most factory rifles. Most .22-250 are too slow twisted to take advantage of heavier .22 bullets and they won’t equal a heavier 6mm no matter how hard they try.
Great cartridge. Had a coworker who was an avid prairie dog hunter and competition shooter. He ran the same Savage action and Weaver fixed 20x scope but was changing his barrels every 1500rds because it burned the riflings out for half an inch at the throat
And he had fun doing it .
I have one and have had a lot of fun with my 22-250, but I think the 243 is better and more versatile.
22-250 is hard to get now. I buy mine at a g shop but forget the box stores, they don't stock it.
Good to see you shoot a gun on your channel. Was becoming to think the channel was mainly reading information out
And that example of a heavy rind objects obliteration shows what a hollow point can do! Absolute destruction!
I have a break open breach loading handi rifle in 22-250 with a red dot and I love it.
Great info. Looks like a fun round. Now I want one!
Love my stainless Browning X-Bolt in .22-250.
Love the 250....right up there with the 223 and 243. I say if you can afford it, get one of every caliber and have a dilemma every time you go hunting. :) For yotes and smaller, you can't beat the 22-250 IMHO.
Thoughts on 22 Creedmoor? My 3rd favorite rifle of all time was a 22-250. I bought it used. It was a Remington 700 action that someone had customized with a heavy barrel, glass bedded and custom stock. It was a tack driver. One other thing, 22-250 doesn't damage pelts if a person shoots a coyote high in the shoulder.
I always get a kick out of the comments. Some agree some disagree. Some start talking about other calibers. I know one thing for sure. When u are born and raised with a certain caliber and gun and u shoot it a lot u become one with it.
One of my favorite things about this channel and other channels is learning stuff from the comments, people keep mentioning these cartridges I’ve literally never heard of. And I consider myself an avid gun enthusiast. For example, 225 Winchester, 22 Creed? Other people in the comments playing with me or are those real things?
My next rifle will be a .22-250! Am thinking of rebarrelling it to a Fast twist .22 Creed in the future. 60gr Partitions or 70gr AccuBonds at 3300+ sound like good medicine!
My favorite hunting rifle
Very interesting video. If you have a need for it, then by all means, but anytime I look at a .22, I find it hard to argue against the availability of rifles and ammunition of basic .223 Remington. I don't need the extra speed so it is a hard sell. Definitely a cool little screamer.
223 is excellent.
But 22-250 makes you feel special 😉👍 try it
55gr bullets,380 powder, fed primers, and life is good
What do you think about the Bergara's choice of 1 in 9 twist? I know 1 in 12/14 is traditional. I've heard 1 in 8 is popular to shoot the heaviest bullet 90. Have you experimented to see when you start losing stability with heavy bullets? I would be satisfied up to 75 that covers most of the hunting bullets. The bullets heavier than that are mostly match. Thank you I'd love to hear your opinion on this . 👍
Great video, could you do one on the 22 hornet. It's kind of an odd ball but would be fun to hear about
Man your videos are always soo great! I would love to see a video on what and how to shoot long range like 800 yards. On a budget

I've shot 22250 for at least 20 years. 50gr reloads at 3954fps.. ive had them at 4100fps.. no need for the little 35 when you can easily push a 50 that fast.
Love it but I prefer the original. The 250 Savage, a.k.a. 250-3000 hand loaded with 80 grain TTSX @3300 fps is hard to beat.

At an early age I had a gunsmith build a 22 250 he called an express, I was still awesome at 600. I noticed that you touched on Barrel where, he claimed that if you didn't abuse the rounds that you could trim an inch off the end of the barrel and it would still be accurate
So much for the midterms...
Take it from an Australian - use it or lose it. Have a family range day at your local range where you bring in all your extended family and friends. The best antidote to gun control is showing people how to shoot.
I've been wanting a 22-250 but lack of ammo has held me back. But I've got into reloading so I think I'm pulling the trigger shortly
Great caliber to reload for
@Liberty Or Death sure is didn't take much to reload for it. I reload for my 308 so all I needed was brass and bullets which were easy to get.
Im thinking of getting one....I really wanted a 220 Swift, my brother has had one since the 80's with a bull barrel so it isnt burned out....but I wanted a new one not a used burned out barrel one. I dont think anyone makes them anymore. But Ive seen in person the 22-250 and it was quite comparable to the swift....but doesnt burn the barrels. And did some damage on ground hogs.
22/ 250, is very susceptible from rate of twist to bullet weight. Do your homework it's a great cartridge.
The 220 Swift had a muzzle velocity of over 4000 fps. 17 Remington had a muzzle velocity of over 4400 fps.
22-250 FTW
