Product Overview
Remington UMC 50-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point .22-250 Remington load made for target shooting. Its bullet is a plain lead-core hollow point on a flat base, with no tip in the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 3,820 fps with 1,620 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .192.
Zeroed at 200 yards it drops 5.6 inches at 300 and 17.9 inches at 400. From a 100-yard zero the drop at 400 is 21.6 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Superformance Varmint 50-grain V-Max carries a G1 BC of .242 and starts 180 fps faster, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 13.5 inches at 400. HSM's Varmint 55-grain V-Max is slower off the muzzle at 3,610 fps but on a G1 BC of .255.
- Starts faster than every 55-grain load compared
- Less estimated recoil than every 55-grain load compared
- The only load in the caliber Remington lists for target shooting
- The lowest G1 BC of the loads compared, at .192, so it drops more at 400 yards than any of them
- A plain hollow point with no polymer tip, where Remington's Premier AccuTip-V has one at the same weight
