Today we're going to talk about two high octane 22 caliber centerfire cartridges: the 22-250 Remington and the 22 Creedmoor. We'll discuss the overall design characteristics and performance specs of each round, then compare how they stack up next to each other. I'll also cover how they each perform in some ballistic gel tests and discuss some interesting aspects of how they each performed at the range.
