Description
The 22-250 Remington has been a favorite varmint and predator round since Remington standardized it in the mid-1960s, and the Federal Power-Shok line delivers dependable performance at a price that makes sense. This 55-grain soft-point load hits 3650 feet per second, giving you that flat trajectory this caliber is famous for. When you're out working a prairie dog town, calling coyotes, or hunting predators across open country, the 22-250 rewards solid fundamentals and lets you take full advantage of the distance.
What You Get with Federal Power-Shok 22-250 Ammunition
Federal built this load with traditional lead-core bullets that expand reliably on impact. The jacketed soft-point design gives you controlled expansion without the fragmentation issues that made the 22-250 unpopular for larger game in its early years. You get Federal quality brass cases and primers throughout, which matters whether you're loading a single magazine or stacking them for an afternoon in the field.
Built for the Job at Hand
The Power-Shok line focuses on what works rather than chasing innovation. Reloadable brass cases mean you can run these through your press later, and the straightforward soft-point construction has proven itself over decades of use. Federal keeps the powder and primer specs consistent, so if you shoot Power-Shok ammunition regularly, you know what to expect from load to load. At traditional varmint distances, this 55-grain bullet delivers what the 22-250 promised: speed, flat flight, and clean results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Federal Power-Shok 22-250 Rem good for hunting coyotes?
Yes, the 22-250 is a proven predator round. The 3650 fps velocity and 55-grain soft-point bullet deliver the flat trajectory and terminal performance coyote hunters rely on. Effective range depends on your skill and distance, but the 22-250 excels at the distances most predator hunters operate at.
Can I reload Federal Power-Shok brass?
Yes, these rounds come in reloadable Boxer-primed brass cases. Federal brass is known for durability and consistent performance through multiple reloading cycles, making it practical if you reload your own ammunition regularly.
How does Federal Power-Shok compare to premium hunting ammunition?
Power-Shok uses traditional lead-core jacketed soft-point bullets that expand reliably at typical hunting ranges.

For varmint work and standard hunting distances, it's more than enough.
What game is the 22-250 with a 55gr soft point suited for?
The 22-250 is purpose-built for varmints and predators like coyotes, foxes, and prairie dogs.
