The 22-250 Remington cartridge is an excellent varmint slayer for sure, capable of ranges out to 400 yards and at bullet speeds of 3,800 f.p.s. with a 50 grain bullet it does it rather quickly.

While the 22-250 Remington has been used for deer and even elk it is actually to small for this, bullet construction becomes the regulating factor here, bullet jackets are just to thin for dependable penetration and controlled expansion. If you handload this cartridge with the heavier 60 - 70 grain 22 caliber bullets it is capable of killing white-tailed deer and antelope sized game out to 100 yds with a well placed shot. I would say It is a pretty good all around gun just make sure if you hunt deer or elk with it that you put the bullet where it counts.


I would like to reccomend to you the Howa Axiom varmiter in king's camo..


Happy hunting,
