22-250 Remington ballistics and bullet construction

The .22-250 Remington established itself decades ago as the standard for high-velocity varmint work, and Winchester's Varmint X ammunition respects that heritage. The 55-grain Extreme Point bullet is designed to fragment on impact, minimizing meat damage while maximizing energy transfer. At typical .22-250 velocities, this projectile delivers flat trajectories and quick energy dump—essential when you're shooting at distance across open terrain.
