Product Overview
Winchester Varmint-X .22-250 Remington 55gr Polymer Tip ammunition is purpose-built for serious varmint and predator hunters who demand accuracy and devastating terminal performance. The polymer-tipped bullet with a 0.255 G1 ballistic coefficient cuts through the air efficiently, maintaining velocity and resisting wind drift at extended ranges. At 3,680 fps muzzle velocity, this load delivers the flat trajectory that makes the .22-250 legendary among varmint calibers.
The Varmint-X line was specifically developed for rapid fragmentation on thin-skinned animals. Upon impact, the polymer tip initiates expansion and the bullet fragments dramatically, creating massive energy transfer. This makes the ammunition ideal for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and woodchucks where instant incapacitation is desired. The 55-grain weight also provides adequate penetration for coyotes and foxes when shots are placed well.
Winchester's reputation for quality ensures consistent performance across every box of Varmint-X ammunition. The premium brass cases and carefully selected propellants produce uniform velocities that translate to predictable point of impact. For hunters who need one ammunition that handles everything from tiny ground squirrels to wary coyotes, the 55gr Polymer Tip offers the versatility and accuracy demanded by experienced varmint hunters.
