The Barnes Steward Collection .22-250 Remington 50-grain Sierra Tipped VarmintKing (TVK) Brass 20-round box is specialized centerfire rifle ammunition engineered specifically for high-velocity predator control, varmint hunting, and property protection over open pastures. A primary operational limitation when targeting coyotes, foxes, and prairie dogs at extended distances is bullet trajectory drop and sluggish expansion on light-bodied animals. Barnes resolves these varmint management obstacles by pairing precision factory loading standards with Sierra’s aerodynamic 50-grain Tipped VarmintKing projectile, delivering blistering muzzle velocities, flat downrange flight lines, and immediate, explosive fragmentation upon impact.
The core technical advantage relies on the projectile's 50-grain Sierra Tipped VarmintKing (TVK) construction. Featuring a streamlined polymer tip paired with a thin copper jacket and swaged lead core, the bullet yields a 0.248 G1 ballistic coefficient optimized for flat shooting and crosswind resistance. Upon impact, the polymer tip acts as an internal wedge, driving backward into the core to trigger instant, violent jacket fragmentation. This total energy transfer eliminates pass-throughs and anchors small predators cleanly without runner tracks.
Taking full advantage of the high-capacity .22-250 Remington cartridge case, this 50-grain loading pushes extreme velocities for minimal trajectory drop across long shooting lanes. Assembled in premium reloadable virgin brass cases paired with clean-burning propellants and non-corrosive Boxer primers, the cartridge guarantees uniform chamber pressures, tight velocity standard deviations, and smooth cycling across bolt-action and semi-automatic varmint rifles.
Key Benefits
- Explosive Terminal Expansion: Thin copper jacket and polymer tip drive immediate, total fragmentation on thin-skinned targets.
- Blistering Flight Lines: 50-grain payload maximizes case capacity for ultra-flat trajectories and minimal holdover.
- Streamlined Aerodynamics: Polymer tip reduces crosswind drift while protecting the nose profile from feeding damage.
- Premium Reloadable Brass: Precision-drawn factory brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers ensure reliable ignition and cycling.
