Description
HSM loaded this .22-250 Remington using the same engineering approach they apply to their match ammunition, which means accuracy was the priority from component selection through final assembly. The 55-grain soft point bullet pairs with non-corrosive brass cases and boxer primers to give you a round that cycles reliably and delivers clean, controlled expansion on small to medium varmints at practical hunting distances.
What Makes This Load Work
The 22-250 Remington remains one of the flattest-shooting varmint cartridges ever put into production. At 3590 fps muzzle velocity with 1574 ft-lbs of energy, this HSM load reaches out to 300 yards or beyond with minimal holdover. The soft point construction provides controlled expansion that works across the velocity range, from close-range shots to longer distances where the round has slowed somewhat. This matters on varmints where you want ethical, efficient performance without excessive destruction.
Built for Reloaders and Hunters
The brass cases are reloadable, which keeps long-term costs down if you fire enough rounds to justify the equipment. The non-corrosive primer and quality brass mean your spent cases won't leave troublesome residue in your firearms. HSM manufactures everything domestically in their Montana facility, which has been producing ammunition since 1968. That kind of track record in a specialized field tells you the company understands what varmint hunters actually need.
Whether you're working open terrain where wind and distance demand precision, or running prairie dog towns where you need one consistent load to trust, the engineering in this box stands up to the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 22-250 Remington good for varmint hunting?
The .22-250 launches its bullets at extremely high velocity with a very flat trajectory, making it one of the most effective varmint cartridges ever commercialized. With this HSM load at 3590 fps, you get minimal bullet drop to 300 yards, which means fewer hold-over adjustments and more room for error in the wind.
Are the brass cases in this HSM load reloadable?
Yes, the non-corrosive brass cases are fully reloadable. If you fire enough rounds to justify a reloading setup, you can reload these cases multiple times to reduce your per-round cost on practice and hunting ammo.
How does the soft point bullet perform on varmints?
The soft point design provides controlled expansion upon impact, delivering humane, efficient results on small to medium game without the excessive fragmentation that comes with some other varmint bullets. This makes it practical for everything from prairie dogs to coyotes depending on range and rifle capability.
Is this ammunition corrosive?
No, HSM uses non-corrosive primers and high-quality brass in this load. You won't need any special cleaning procedures after shooting, and the brass won't leave residue that could cause corrosion inside your rifle.
