Not quite. The vast majority of MT sucks donkey balls, IMO. You bastids have a "draw" for damn near everything you have out there to hunt. In GA, AL, and TN, we have "hunting season". You jackwagons have "hunting week".
If I ever leave the SE, I might stop in ID, maybe, but I'd likely just keep headin' north.

I wonder what the losers in Atlanta are doing?  Wishing they was here! Not quite. The vast majority of MT sucks donkey balls, IMO. You bastids have a "draw" for damn near everything you have out there to hunt. In GA, AL, and TN, we have "hunting season". You jackwagons have "hunting week". If I ever leave the SE, I might stop in ID, maybe, but I'd likely just keep headin' north. Guess you not compared the options and lengths of hunting seasons between MT and ID...

We have no hunting seasons in Montana and all the game has been decimated. Don't come here.

I am OK in GA cause the limit is 12, but you can only kill two bucks. 223 is a piss-ant cartridge and Barnes copper bullets suck badly! Why it takes several seconds for a deer to die shot with a 223. I am thinking to go 30-06 a reals man's cartridge this year. ![[Linked Image]](http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff205/Jimmyp50/47de03b5-af71-4ffe-a312-0e90ddc78b8f_zps62e374f0.jpg)

Now this is a thread that interest me. I have 223's with 8,9 and 12 twist, I have a 22-250 with an 8 twist.
After having and liking both very much I prefer the 223 overall for the following reasons.
Availability (I was at Walmart tonight and they had lots of 223 ammo and no 22-250 ammo, I then went to Academy Sports same deal lots of 223 including 8 different "deer loads" and no 22-250 ammo at all.)
Economy (223 brass is cheap heck even free most of the time. Primers no advantage either way. Powder same in both but it goes further in 223. Finally, bullets no advantage except the 223 works better with soft bullets it seems.)
Accuracy (it's easy to get the 223 to shot great with any bullet, the 22-250 has took a lot more effort. Even after more load development my 223's all out shoot my 22-250.)
Fun (The 223 is just more fun to shoot. Neither recoils much but the 223 is still less. Less noise in 223. Bores never seem to foul in 223 which means less cleaning which I hate doing by the way.)
Effectiveness ( The 223 is just not that far behind the 22-250 even with heavies in both rifles. At short range I think the lower velocity of the 223 is an advantage as it penetrates more and seems to get more exits. At best it seems the 22-250 has a 100 yard increase in effective range. I'm comfortable with the 223 to 200 yards where 300 is my limit with the 22-250. Others might use them further but these are my comfort zones.)
Granted I don't have much as personal experience with the 22-250 and do with the 223 but this is just my opinion and experience of the two. I'm not getting rid of either but limited to one it would be the .223 for me. Wow. Nice, informative post. Thanks. Sorry I missed this post, your welcome. Scott is right however, he said the same thing in two sentences...

Bought like the difference between the .22 short and the .22 LR. Both will work if conditions are "perfect", but niether is "right
