Just in my opinion, A 223 bolt gun will be best suited for a 100 yards range. A 250 savage works too, but .223 bolt are known for their strong accuracy and shot.
I guess you've never shot a 250 before or have heard that the 250 is considered an accurate round......Taken from the book "The Ultimate in Rifle Accuracy": Using a .250-3000 Paul Dinant shot a 5 shot, 100 yard, group of .1057" on May 21, 1950. Not bad considering that was 70+ years ago......

I don't think bickering over "inherent accuracy" has any point in this discussion.

More then two dozen deer/antelope i’ve Shot with th 77gr tmk or 75gr eld-m have done a lot more nose in the dirt on impact then taking a step let alone worry about a dash or a blood trail.
To be fair one mule deer that I blew out her heart at 200ish somehow did a 30 yard dash.
That’s it for significant movement after impact.. from inside of 30 to 600.

Yes it does. It’s not 2007 anymore.

Never shot a whitetail with a .223. Long time back I found that issue ball from a M16 was adequate for local deer, pigs, chickens, monkeys, water buffalo, people and at least one elephant. Still, I wouldn't go deer hunting with one today if I had a .250 Savage handy.
I am..........disturbed.
