Now for a serious question.
You guys that have taken deer and goats with both, does the 22-250 seem any more effective?
LBP: Ive done a lot with both cartridges, and done well with both. Any limits placed on them are self-imposed. Because of trajectory, retained energy blah blah blah...I feel my "comfort zone" with the .223 is 200 yds....with the .22-250, it is 300 yards. Certainly you can hit them with both at longer ranges,but I want to be sure to serve up a clean, quick and humane kill...
In between of course we have the .223AI
It ups my " comfort zone" to 300 yds and has, as someone here most aptly put it, "better manners" than the .22-250...
