22-250 Remington Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 22-250 Remington with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

22-250 Remington reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)65,000 psi
Nominal case capacity44.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.224 in (5.69 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.224 60 gr V-MAX
Powder
Hodgdon Superformance
Charge
39 gr
Barrel

Muzzle velocity

3,259 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

29,330 – 40,933 – 55,049 psi

nominal is 63% of the 65,000 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure is an estimate; always confirm your load against a current published manual before loading.

Use MyLoads as a 22-250 Remington velocity and pressure calculator: it estimates muzzle velocity, muzzle energy and the full chamber-pressure curve for your own powder, charge and barrel length, compared against the reference facts above.
