Unknown bullet

Got some 22-250 brass last weekend that is loaded with these bullets. Anyone recognize them? Ive never seen such a bullet before.

Winchester sold one that looked like it, positive expanding, I think was the name of it. Don't know if they made a 22 cal.

I'd pull that bullet and check the base for a headstamp. It looks like a bullet made from a 22 LR case as a jacket.

Ill pull one when I get home

Primers are gold colored just like a factory round. The neck of the brass shows no sign of being ran threw a die so I suspect its some kind of factory but I've never seen such a thing

Very possible, could be some of Vernon Speer's original 22s he made with 22RF brass.

45.8 gr bullet flat base with what looks like 41.4 gr of H380.

The winchester supreme .22 mag ammo looks like that as well. Rips jack rabbits apart.

Looks very similar to a WW Power Max bullet.

Winchester White Box 45gr HP ammo looks very similar to that stuff and was suprisingly accurate

Winchester black talon if I remember correctly, back in the early 90's and were discontinued.

This all came from an ole timer that passed I believe. The guy I bought them from didn't own bolt guns and didn't reload yet

They were in a reloading box though. The brass is brand new for sure. Thw gold primers and uniform bullets had me thinking possible factory. All seated to saami spec.

However these puppies are very thin jackets. Theres a noticeable dent on the pulled round where it was seated to. I want to measure the diameters and consistency from bullet to bullet.

Ill do some googling on the black talon

I use to shoot Black Talons(at whitetail against my fathers wishes), they were over kill for deer. I don't think they produced them in a .22 cal, all the ones I bought had nickle cases and a black coating on what I believe was an early Barnes x- bullet

The Black Talon is now what Winchester calls the SXT.

The bullet design is what is called a "protected point" and has been used by Winchester and Sierra among others.

YEP!, #USA222502, I've shot TONS of that stuff, my Savage 12 will put it in a .5" group until my eyes give from the 18X scope
