    I love my .223 and have shot a shed load of animals with it....inherited a .22-250 and it is a hell of a lot of fun popping hares off out to 250 yards with no holdover at all....have just spent the $$$ and made it civilised with a DPT can.....I can see it coming along more often now...it is polar opposite of the .223. which is short and light ish...the bull barrel 700 could never be called either,yet Ive carted it up hill and down dale a couple of times without too much issue. sure makes a fella appreciate light rifle afterwards.

    would I want a fast twist .22 centrefire??? nope...if I want to chuck 80grn projectiles I would buy a 243 and I nearly down that low with .270 with 110s.

    Agreed. Which to a point applies to a fast twist 22-250.

    Do you use your 22 250 on deer and if so what are your thoughts MD
    When hunting think safety first
