Product Overview
Remington High Performance Rifle 55-grain PSP is a lead-core .22-250 Remington load made for small game. A pointed soft point with bare lead at the nose and a flat base is all the bullet is. It leaves the muzzle at 3,680 fps with 1,654 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .197.
With a 200-yard zero it drops 6.0 inches at 300 and 19.2 inches at 400, arriving with 410 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero the drop at 400 is 23.3 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Prvi Partizan's 55-grain SP matches it at 3,680 fps on a G1 BC of .212, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 18.1 inches at 400. Winchester's Super-X 64-grain Power-Point is the heaviest bullet in the caliber, 180 fps slower at the muzzle on a G1 BC of .251.
- Carries 27 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Federal's Power-Shok JSP
- Less estimated recoil than Winchester's Super-X Power-Point in the same rifle
- A pointed soft point, the plainest hunting bullet of the loads compared
- Drops 1.1 inches more at 400 yards than Prvi Partizan's SP from a 200-yard zero, which starts at the same speed
- The least energy at 400 yards of the hunting loads compared
- A lead-core soft point, so it can't be used where lead-free ammunition is required. Barnes' VOR-TX TSX is the copper load in the caliber
