I found shooting Rock chucks with my 22-250 over a long day I would get awful tired of the boom, losing the sight picture in the scope from recoil , and I would have a sore shoulder from shooting prone all day long. Moved to a 223AI and lost a little bit of range, but all those other issues went away. I can watch the damage in the scope, lighter recoil by a bit, and quieter.... I still use the 22-250 occasionally, but not nearly as much ...
