Thread: .22-250

I am on my second 22-250. I toasted the first one goat culling. The 22-250 is a great round, however, if history was repeating itself for me I would just go with a 223 (I have one of those as well). I took some real long shots with my first 22-250 in probably a less than ethical manner which I wouldn't do nowadays or would use another rifle more suited - back then they were only goats eh so if you didn't quite hit them right so what - something I no longer subscribe too. Virtually all 22-250s have a slow twist so you are limited to lighter projectiles. My 223 has a factory fast twist and I can fire much heavier projectiles thru it. You burn a shit load of powder for not a great deal of increased velocity over a 223 and they burn out in the throats vastly sooner than a 223. Unsuppressed they have a harsh crack. Resale on them, in my opinion is not as good as a 223. The cheap 223 ammo that is available (maybe not right now) is not an option with the 22-250. Don't get me wrong, I love my 22-250, I just think a 223 provides some better options.
