Product Overview
Federal American Eagle .22-250 Remington 50gr JHP ammunition combines trusted Federal quality with practical pricing for everyday varmint hunting. Launching at 3,850 fps with 1,645 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load harnesses the full velocity potential of the .22-250 cartridge. The jacketed hollow point bullet provides reliable expansion on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, woodchucks, and similar small game, making it a versatile choice for shooters across diverse varmint hunting environments.
This ammunition excels as a workhorse load for farmers and ranchers managing pest populations throughout the year. The consistent Federal brass and reliable ignition mean fewer malfunctions during critical pest control operations, while the 0.204 G1 ballistic coefficient maintains adequate accuracy for typical engagement distances. Whether eliminating crop-damaging rodents or thinning coyote populations around livestock, American Eagle provides the reliability expected from a major manufacturer without the premium price tag.
Target shooters and those new to the .22-250 platform will appreciate the forgiving nature of this ammunition. It allows shooters to become familiar with the cartridge's impressive velocity and flat trajectory before investing in specialized hunting loads. The reloadable brass cases add long-term value, and Federal's quality control ensures consistent performance across multiple boxes. For general-purpose .22-250 shooting where premium accuracy is not mandatory, American Eagle delivers excellent value.
