Mossberg = GOOD. The 200 series is rather unusual - only made for a few years. I saw a 250 in good shape at a local gun show a couple of weeks ago for $200.00, but I wasn't in the market for that model. The information for the 351 and the 151 should be helpful.

From the number, yours should have a through the stock tube feed. Havlin's -is the source for all parts Mossberg.22. Their website does not list everything that they have, call if you need something specific.

Is a good source for information on most Mossbergs. Unfortunately, they don't have anything on the 200 series. You might go to for more help - look under the Mossberg section if you want to be indundated with info. ERROR - The 200 series was marketed under the New Haven name. The 251C is actually the same as the Mossberg 351KA.

All sizes in millimeters (mm) / Imperial (inches). The.22-250 Remington is a very high-velocity (capable of reaching over 4000 feet per second), short action,.22 primarily used for and small hunting, though it finds occasional use on deer. This cartridge is also sometimes known as the.22 Varminter or the.22 Wotkyns Original Swift. Along with the, the.22-250 was one of the high-velocity.22 caliber cartridges that developed a reputation for remote wounding effects known as in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Contents.

History The.22-250 started life as a developed from the case necked down to take a.224 bullet. In the early days of the there were several different versions that varied only slightly from one to the next, including one developed in 1937 by Grosvenor Wotkyns, J. E. Gebby and J. B. Smith who named their version the 22 Varminter.

The.22-250 is similar to, but was outperformed by the larger.220 Swift cartridge. However, it is in much wider use and has a larger variety of commercially available factory ammunition than the Swift.

Despite common myths regarding longer barrel life on a 22-250 vs the Swift or other calibers, that is directly related to shooter habits, allowing the barrel to cool between volleys and the speed of the bullet, an important factor for high-volume shooters. Both the Swift and the 22-250 shoot at very similar velocities and bullet weights so barrel wear when used and cooled equally is identical between the two calibers. Due to its rimless case the 22-250 also feeds from a box magazine with ease. In 1937 Phil Sharpe, one of the first to build a rifle for the.22-250 and long time rifle builder, stated, 'The Swift performed best when it was loaded to approximately full velocity,' whereas, 'The Varminter case permits the most flexible loading ever recorded with a single cartridge. It will handle all velocities from 1,500 up to 4,500 ft/s.' Sharpe credited the steep 28-degree shoulder for this performance. He insisted that it kept the powder burning in the case rather than in the throat of the rifle, as well as prevented case stretching and neck thickening.

'Shoulder angle ranks along with primer, powders, bullets, neck length, body taper, loading density and all those other features,' he wrote. 'The.22 Varminter seems to have a perfectly balanced combination of all desirable features and is not just an old cartridge pepped up with new powders.'

Accuracy was consistently excellent, with little need for either case trimming or neck reaming, and Sharpe pronounced it 'my choice for the outstanding cartridge development of the past decade.' He finished by saying he looked forward to the day when it would become a commercial cartridge. Commercial acceptance In 1963 the started to chamber its Browning High Power Rifle in the.22-250, at the time a. This was a risky yet historical move on Browning's part as there was no commercial production of the.22-250 at the time. Amber, reporting on the development of the Browning rifle in the 1964, called the event 'unprecedented'. 'As far as I know,' he wrote, 'this is the first time a first-line arms-maker has offered a rifle chambered for a cartridge that it—or some other production ammunition maker—cannot supply.' Amber foresaw difficulties for the company but 'applauded Browning's courage in taking this step'.

He said he had his order in for one of the first heavy-barrel models, expected in June 1963, and added, 'I can hardly wait!' Two years later in 1965 adopted the.22-250, added 'Remington' to the name and chambered their and 40 XB match rifles for the along with a line of commercial ammunition, thus establishing its commercial specification.

The.22-250 was the first non- caliber offered in the unique. Military acceptance Both the British and the Australian used Tikka M55 sniper rifles chambered in.22-250 for urban counter-terrorism duties in the 1980s, in an attempt to reduce excessive penetration and ricochets. Performance Typical factory-loaded.22-250 Remington can propel a 55 (3.56 g) spitzer at 3,680 ft/s (1122 m/s) with 1,654 ft⋅lbf (2,243 J) of energy. Many other loads with lighter bullets are used to achieve velocities of over 4,000 ft/s (1,219 m/s), while still having effective energy for use in hunting small game and medium-sized predators. The.22-250 is currently the fastest production cartridge, surpassing the. This round is loaded by Hornady under their Superformance line and is a 35 grain, non-toxic, fragmenting varmint bullet at 4450 feet per second (1356 m/s) from a 24' barrel. It is particularly popular in the western states of the USA where high winds often hinder the effectiveness of other rounds in hunting.

Many states in the USA have minimum caliber restrictions on larger game such as deer, although most states do allow the cartridge to be used for big game. See also. References.
