Description
The Aguila .22-250 Remington combines the proven ballistics of this high-velocity cartridge with InterLock bullet technology that does the work when it matters. With a 60-grain soft point bullet, this load brings practical terminal performance to the field without the extreme velocity swings you get with lighter loads, making it more forgiving across different rifles and conditions.
This cartridge launches bullets at 3,240 feet per second for a muzzle energy of 1,398 foot-pounds. That translates to a flat trajectory that holds well past 300 yards and a bullet that retains the energy you need for clean, ethical takes on small to medium-sized game. The InterLock design uses an internal ring that locks the jacket and lead core together during expansion, ensuring the bullet holds its weight and delivers the penetration you want without over-expanding.
Practical Field Ammunition for the .22-250
You're getting 20 rounds per box in new-production, boxer-primed brass that you can reload when you decide to chase more accuracy. Factory ammo gives you consistency out of the box while keeping things simple. The .22-250 Remington itself remains a workhorse for hunters tackling everything from coyotes to prairie dogs across open country, and medium-grain soft points like this one sit right in the sweet spot where accuracy, trajectory, and terminal performance all come together.
Why InterLock Technology in .22-250
Hornady's InterLock concept isn't new, but it's proven. The mechanical lock between jacket and core prevents the kind of jacket separation you see in some soft points, meaning more weight retention after impact. That's particularly valuable in a 60-grain .22 where you need reliable performance without needing a bullet twice the size. You get expansion and deep penetration rather than over-fragmentation on lightly built game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Aguila .22-250 Remington ammunition reloadable?
Yes. The rounds come in boxer-primed brass cases that can be reloaded. This means you can use the brass again after you shoot it, which makes sense if you're working up loads or just want to stretch your supplies further.
What game and distances work well for this 60-grain soft point load?
The 60-grain weight puts it in the medium-weight category that balances velocity and trajectory nicely. It works well on coyotes, prairie dogs, and similar-sized game out past 300 yards thanks to the flat trajectory. For heavier game or dedicated long-range work, you might consider other loads, but for standard hunting distances this one covers a lot of ground.
How does the InterLock bullet perform on impact?
The internal mechanical lock keeps the jacket and core together as the bullet expands, so you retain more weight and penetration compared to soft points that let the jacket and core separate. You get controlled expansion for ethical kills without over-fragmentation that wastes energy or damages hide.
Will this ammo work in any .22-250 rifle?
It will chamber in any rifle chambered for .22-250 Remington. Accuracy and performance can vary by rifle, barrel length, and twist rate, so it's worth testing at your range first to see how it shoots in your specific gun.
