The Winchester Power-Point X222502 delivers exceptional accuracy and reliable expansion for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications. This 64-grain load maximizes the flat trajectory characteristics of the 22-250 Remington cartridge while maintaining consistent terminal performance on medium-sized game.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's Power-Point bullet design features a strategically placed notched jacket that controls expansion at various impact velocities. Unlike standard full metal jacket rounds, the Power-Point construction ensures reliable mushrooming even at the extended ranges common with 22-250 shooting. The 64-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance between velocity and wind resistance for this high-performance cartridge.
Key Features
- 64-grain Power-Point soft point bullet for controlled expansion
- Brass cases with boxer primers for reliable ignition
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 3,500+ fps muzzle velocity
- Notched jacket design promotes uniform mushrooming
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for safety and accuracy

Field performance demonstrates flat trajectory retention beyond 300 yards with minimal bullet drop compensation required. The Power-Point construction maintains structural integrity through various barrel twist rates while delivering consistent group sizes under 1.5 MOA in quality rifles. Hunters report reliable expansion on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized varmints at ranges from 100 to 400 yards.
