If I needed more than a 223, I’d go up to a 243.  Most 22-250s are twisted slow and the lightweight bullets start fast, but bleed energy quick.  Even a 10 twist 243 gets you into 95gr bulllets if you want to get through some wind.  70gr Ballistic Tip works great if you want fast.

When there is the possibility of shot between 3 and 400 yards the Sako 22-250 is my gun of choice. 37.5 gr IMR 4064
