History of the .22-250 Remington cartridge:
The  22-250 Remington began as a wildcat by necking down the250-3000 Savage (also called the 250 Savage) to .22″ caliber, by Harvey Donaldson in 1934.
The 250 Savage was designed by Charles Newton in 1915 and named it the  250-3000 because it was a 25 (250) caliber, and would go 3,000 Feet per Second.
Somehow Remington got the rights to the design and started production under the 22-250 Remington label and introduced it to the public in 1965.
