Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints anyone interested in a 22-250?

Nothing against the 22-250. However it’s way more muzzle blast, barrel heat and recoil than other very suitable PD rifles. I had and sold both the 22-250 and 220 swift in heavy barrel varminters. They worked fine, but with the negative attributes mentioned above, I’ll take the 204R, 223, 17 Rem, 17FB, any day, in a PD town.

Have both the 22-250 and the swift they are great in their own place. That place doesn't include fast action high volume dog shoots in a big town. For that environment 223 is hard to beat
Any barrel can be burned out and there is no need for it. Cost of casings is a factor favoring the 223 and it s recoil that let's you keep the dog in your field of view. A few good dog shoots will teach anyone that. .
