The Sellier & Bellot .22-250 Remington 55 Grain Soft Point ammunition (model V330422) is factory centrefire ammunition engineered for varmint hunting and agricultural pest control. Loaded with a 55-grain (3.60-gram) semi-jacketed soft point projectile (bullet #2914), this cartridge pairs an exposed lead core with a drawn CuZn 10 tombac jacket to deliver rapid frontal expansion on impact. Packaged in a 20-round box of reloadable, boxer-primed brass cases, it achieves a high muzzle velocity of 1,060 m/s (3,478 fps) and 2,022 J (1,477 ft·lb) of muzzle energy from a standard 600 mm test barrel, providing a flat trajectory out to 300 metres.

Key Features

• Rapid-Expansion Terminal Performance: Semi-jacketed projectile design couples a drawn CuZn 10 brass jacket with an exposed lead tip for controlled mushrooming and solid energy transfer on light-framed targets.
• High-Velocity Flat Trajectory: Muzzle speed of 3,478 fps (1,060 m/s) results in a drop of just 7.4 cm at 200 m and 32.6 cm at 300 m when set to a 100-metre zero.
• Reloadable Boxer Brass: Manufactured with non-corrosive boxer primers and standard factory brass cases built to a 59.60 mm cartridge overall length.
• Optimised Factory Twist Compatibility: Weight and profile match standard 1:12-inch and 1:14-inch rifle twist rates common to factory .22-250 Remington hunting rifles.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 22-250 Rem 55 Grain Sp Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Fox and wild dog controllers in agricultural terrain — relies on a high muzzle velocity of 3,478 fps to deliver a flat trajectory and rapid hydraulic shock on canines and invasive predators across paddocks up to 300 metres with this 22 250 Rem soft point ammunition.
• Feral goat and small pest culling operations — delivers terminal knockdown through a 55 grain semi-jacketed soft point bullet engineered to mushroom immediately on impact against light game species under 23 kg.
• Varmint hunters shooting standard factory rifles — stabilises efficiently in traditional 1:12-inch or 1:14-inch barrel twist rates using a 0.207 G1 ballistic coefficient projectile that matches original factory chamberings without requiring specialised fast-twist rifling.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 400 metres where velocity drops to 489 m/s and energy falls to 430 J (requiring higher-BC tipped projectiles to offset wind drift), game animals weighing over 23 kg (requiring larger-calibre centrefire ammunition), or rifles with fast 1:8-inch or 1:7-inch twist barrels (which are better suited to heavier 69–80+ grain bullets).
