if I wanted to load a 22 250 to say 3000-3300 with an 8 twist, a 22 inch barrel, and a 62 grain bullet would the cartridge do it with good accuracy? Easily. I shot two hogs a few years ago with a 222 Rem. Mag. The load used 27.5 grs. RL-15 and the 62 TSX clocking a smidge over 3,300 in a 24" barrel. That's pretty much the real estate limit. The 22 Nosler throated out and leaned on in a bolt gun might get 3,400, but Nosler brass is softish. 75's crammed in the AR is lucky to see 3,100 without brass decay. The 22-250 hull has a lot more room for improvement, even without leaning on the powder handle. I agree, that hull in a hot dog town is going to be limited duty, but it sounds like pigs you are after. Again, all else equal, the 223 hull is 100-150 fps. over a 222 (15% capacity increase). Getting a 222 with a 60 grainer to 3,000-3,100 isn't real tricky, since its SAAMI data is soft to begin with.
