    How much betterer than a .223 is a .22/250? Talking about deer here. I have wanted one for a while but not sure how much difference it would be to a .223 using basically the same 55g sp

    Shooting heavies in the 223 makes it more useful on larger thin skinned game like deer

    But if the 22/250 had a fast twist tube then the tables are turned, in an extremely useful fashion
    tetawa, Shearer and Micky Duck like this.
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
