I’ve burned the barrels out on a couple of 22-250’s in dog towns…. And I’ll keep rebarrelling them ! They are superior in the wind to a 223. Too many times I’ve laid beside my brother or nephew while shooting a very accurate 223 while they were shooting 22-250’s and gotten outshot. I’ll walk back to the truck and grab a 22-250 and my hit percentage goes way up. No, its definitely not the ideal one gun for a dog shoot but it’s still a damned fine caliber. I also admit to building a 20P and LOVE that thing. Shoots as good in the wind as a22-250 and I can still see the hits or misses. I may put a break on it next time… yeah it’ll be noisy but I bet I’ll see the bullets hit. As far as coyote huntin… it’s hard to beat a 22-250. Period.
