.22-250 Remington is a fast, flat-shooting centerfire .22-caliber cartridge popular for varmint and predator hunting at extended ranges, with light recoil.

.22-250 drives light .224 bullets at high velocity, producing a very flat trajectory well suited to varmint and predator shooting at longer ranges, with mild recoil that makes precise shooting easy. It is primarily a varmint cartridge and is also used for target shooting; its high velocity can contribute to faster barrel wear. Ammunition is widely available in mostly lighter varmint-type bullets at moderate cost. It suits varmint and predator hunters who want flat-shooting reach with low recoil.
