.223 or 22-250?

I have a 22lr and a .308. Just looking to get a dedicated predator rifle. Thanks guys!

[CAMPMEAT]

I have 2 of each. Both calibers pretty much kill predators equally. I don't think a couple hundred fps makes that much difference. I've killed coyotes at 300 yards with both calibers and they were dead. Some guys will argue between the 2, but they get the job done.

The ammo for a .223 is cheaper, but they are so damn loud. I prefer the 22-250.

why limit yourself, get one of each!  I did.

Based upon ballistics, the 22-250 is the better choice.  JMTC

I voted .223 but that is only on the AR plat form. IF i had to have a bolt action it would be a 22-250

Nice, thanks everyone. Looks like I will be searching for a 22-250 here real soon

Ive always been a fan of how a bolt action feels and shoots.

I am unclear as to whether or not you are kidding.

Any accurate bolt action rifle in 223 and a one in nine or one in eight twist rate can shoot heavier 223 cal bullets. This gives you the ability to buck the wind better at longer distances and packs more energy than lighter bullets going faster. Ammo is much more varied, available, and more cost effective in the 223. I like shooting the 65-75 grain 223 call bullets out of a fast twist rate rifle. 223 Rem, the king of varmint cartridges.

No, I am not kidding. That's not the reason I prefer the 22-250, but it is the main thing I don't like about the .223. I think they are both a good varmint round, but I prefer the 22-250.

I agree with some of the above posts, 223 in an ar, but if you're talking bolt gun the 22-250 is much better. I have both, but shoot the ar's a lot more.

I went .223

Perform so well in my AR/Encore
