    Frankly I don't think there is anything wrong with the standard 22-250
    We know it will use a barrel quicker than a 223 if run hard, and we know it's also been hampered by manufacturers barrel twists while they promoted the 223.
    What we also know is that it is a very accurate round and runs better on the wind than a 223

    Some one said above that it's not good in the wind
    well that's true
    But neither are my 6.5's or my 223, or my 30 06 or my 9.3, just depends how you manage it.

    22-250 with 75 gr amax is going to perform way better in the wind than any 223.
    Make sure your rifle is properly bedded in a descent stock.and getting the action trued during the rebarreling process won't be a bad thing if you are going to hang a big heavy pipe .
