Load data for caliber ".22-250 Rem."
The .22-250 Remington is one of the most popular centerfire rifle cartridges available. It was first developed in the late 1940s and has been a favorite among varmint hunters ever since. This cartridge is capable of pushing a 50 grain bullet to velocities over 4000 fps, making it ideal for long range shots on small animals such as squirrels, coyotes, and foxes.When handloading with slower burning powders, the .22-250 can achieve even higher velocities than factory loads and launch heavier bullets for larger game like deer or hogs. The case length is also compatible with some AR-15 platform rifles, allowing for versatility when it comes to hunting platforms.

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
