Product Overview
Remington Express 250-grain Scenar Match is a match load for target shooting and competition. Its Scenar bullet is a match hollow point with a boat tail, and the load drives it out of the muzzle at 2,970 fps with 4,896 ft-lbs of energy. Among 250-grain match loads, that fast start is its main strength.
Compared with Federal's Gold Medal Match 250-grain, the Remington starts 20 fps faster and carries 63 ft-lbs more energy at the muzzle. That is a small edge, and the two loads kick almost the same in the same rifle. Compared with Hornady's Match 250-grain BTHP, the gap is wider: the Remington leaves the muzzle 110 fps faster with 356 ft-lbs more energy. The extra speed brings a little more recoil than the Hornady, which kicks the least of the 250-grain match loads.
Buy the Remington if you want the fastest start you can get from a 250-grain match load: it leaves the muzzle ahead of Federal's Gold Medal Match 250-grain, Norma's Match 250-grain and Winchester's Match 250-grain. Pick the Federal if you want a load its maker markets for competition, long-range and target shooting. Pick the Hornady Match 250-grain BTHP if you want the lightest recoil at this bullet weight. Pick Hornady's Match 285-grain ELD Match, which Hornady sells as a target and match load, if you want a heavier bullet; it kicks about 19 percent harder.
- Leaves the muzzle 70 fps faster than Winchester's Match 250-grain
- Starts 225 fps faster than Hornady's Match 285-grain ELD Match
- Carries 128 ft-lbs more muzzle energy than Hornady's Match 285-grain ELD Match
- Kicks about 1 percent more than Federal's Gold Medal Match 250-grain in the same rifle
- Kicks about 3 percent more than Winchester's Match 250-grain in the same rifle
- Kicks about 4 percent more than Hornady's Match 250-grain BTHP in the same rifle
