  Many moons ago, there was a popular cartridge known as the .250 Savage. Somebody decided to neck it down to .22 caliber, and there you go, 22-250.

  what he said and he said and he said and if you go back even further you will find that they were all based on the 7x57 Mauser.

  Ok let's see if I have this right: Some enterprising wildcatter took a 7x57 Mauser and turned it into a .300 Savage, and then Savage turned it into the .250-3000 which got shortened to .250 and then someone else necked it down to .22 to meke the .22-.250. That is easy enough.

  I don't know about the wildcat part of the two Savage rounds, 'tis possible. The .300 Savage was one of the early offerings of Savage Arms in their model 99 lever gun. It was supposed to duplicate the '06 in performance, but didn't quite do it. The .250-3000 was an early high speed round, also in the model 99. It was supposed to travel at 3000fps, and early rounds did. They are both short, lever action rounds (length limitations) that were attempting to run with the bolt guns becoming popular at the time. The .22-250 indeed is a wildcat that I believe Remington claimed for it's stable of cartridges
  in the late 50's or early 60's by manufacturing factory rounds.

  And, By The Way-in my opinion-the 250-3000 was one heck of a good
  cartridge.
  I hunted with one for a number of years in the late 60's and early 70's.

  What they said, and if you take the 7x57 Mauser and neck it down to 6mm you have the 6mm Remington[:D]
