    I really enjoyed your video! I searched "22-250 vs 223" and yours was first in line. Both rifles are awesome, your 700 is absolutely beautiful, wish you'd mentioned it's barrel length. In addition to your excellent grouping, I also admire your integrity for not shooting a 2nd take where you put them in the black. A well-competent practitioner needn't show off. You don't really answer your first question, 'Which is better for Varmint Hunting?' other than pointing our the enormous reach of the 22-250. I'd love to see a follow-up video comparing the wallop delivered at 100, 200, 300 yds., whether it be gel, water jugs, etc. My buddy loves his 22-250 not only for coyotes but even whitetail! I questioned his judgement but he swears he'd rather take his 22-250 Winchester than his granpappy's 30-30 Marlin which is in immaculate condition. He's in the open Prairies of Saskatchewan, I'm sure it'd be different if there was heavy undergrowth. Regarding your 2nd question: even a top-shelf hammer can't make up for a shitty nail, but I've used a mediocre hammer to frame many a wall easily cuz there were no shitty nails. Thanks again for the great video, Dave, I look forward to watching more.

I'm gittin up there in years ,my hiking & hunting days are over,but i still setup for varmints , from prarie dogs to coyotes. Other than ARs in various calibers, i surely missed my '250. Then i came across the 22nosler-- so i orderd a 24" cmmg upper and an assortment of ammo. I am impressed and quite happy..

    I have shot thousands of rounds of both--both cartridges will do their job if you do yours--the difference is strictly less hold over the with the 22-250 which is just a screaming eagle round--in the 80's I had a Rem 700 with a bull barrel and it was utterly amazing just how flat shooting it was--just point and click out to 400-500 yards. We went crow hunting in the Missouri Rivers bottoms east of KC one time--we didn't think anything of shooting 500+ yards in the flat bottom land. Out came 3 Coyotes at 700+ yards--they were trotting--I told my friend give a whistle in about 10 seconds.. He whistled and they stopped--I just did a mild hold over on the lead dog and clicked--POOF! I don't think I would have made that same shot with a 223, but I have to tell you, that the 223 has so many custom rounds now, that it's a close shave with the 22-250. GREAT video! I am subscribed now!

    You don’t go wrong with either. The advantage of the 223 is the AR platform and quick follow up for multiple critters. The 223 is easier to find as well as available in more factory offerings. The 22-250 offers range beyond what most are capable of utilizing. Both offer great accuracy and neither is a bad choice for varmints or predators.

    In you analogy, folks need to take in location in the country/terrain. I'm in NC, with alot of pine, hardwood and scrub, getting a shot on a coyote in excess of 300 yards is very rare unless you have access to farm fields with short, or no crop. Out west, I think a fella would be a fool to not predator hunt with a 22-250, but for me a .223 bolt or gas gun is a perfect tool for the job, with a shotgun lying close by!

    Thank you for your video of the compairson between the 22-250 and your 223, I had them both, mine was both savage models. I used to reload my own ammo and for both I used Hornady 50 and 55 gr with different type of tips like balastik tip palmar tips and a few others. And I got all my groupings with in one half inch of each other. I changed the synthitic stocks on both the 223 and the 22-250 to custom stocks I bought from the us and with the 22-250 I also put a timneys trig and I adjusted it to 2lbs. And my scope was a Vortex 10-40x50 . And on the 223 I had a vortex 6-24x 40 and I can tell you that what you said about weather it was the hammer or nail well I believe in what you said that it is both. I live in Canada so here we have two dollar coins called tunies with brass in the center and I use to tape a coin to each target and put them out at 300 yarda and I was able to knock the brass center out of the coins. And at 2 handreds yards I would take golf balls paint them orange the drill a hole in them, put a string through them and hang them at the 2 handreds yard Mark let them swing from side to side and with both the 223 and the 22-250 I could hit them off of the string. I spent many hours at the range prefecting my shooting. And I only had the pleasure of taking one coyote with my 22-250 and it was a one shot one kill deal. Lover both of my varmint guns.

    Both are great choices. I think it just depends on what kind of varmint shootings are going to do. For high-volume squirrel / Prairie Dog Days four to five hundred animals 223 all day less recoil last report scaring off Critters and most importantly less Barrel Heat.

    Own both, love both but in the real world the only thing the 22-250 has got over the 223 is power, speed and less wind drift over a set distance 223 is much cheaper to shoot or reload, more barrel twist options available for different bullet weights, ammo availability, longer barrel life, less recoil (not that a 22-250 has much recoil). Get the one you want, most varmints won't know the difference

My .223 is a Ruger M77 that has better accuracy than I can understand and it’s much lighter and way cheaper to shoot.

    I chose the 223 over the 250, here's why...when I bought it i couldn't find a 250 in a faster twist that 12. I have a 223 with a twist of 8, slower yes...but I also have the capability to shoot and stabilize heavy bullets for longer range and less wind deflection. I think front a target shooter/handloading perspective the 223 is superior. That being said...there are now 250s with 8 twist, I'd like to try a 77/80gr bullet to how she does at 700 yards or more. It would be interesting to say the least.

    I owned a -250 once in a Browning Medallion or maybe it was a Micro Medallion, I forget which, but I loved it and killed several deer with it. I've also had a pair of .223s...one a Remington Model 700 Classic and an AR. I don't think much of that round except as a defensive round in the AR platform. Oddly enough though I hunt deer with handholds in my .22 Hornet. With that round I shoot them in the white patch under their throats, at ranges around 100 yards or so, and that little 45 grainer breaks their necks and drops them in their tracks. I would not take that shot with a .223 or -250 though because of the grizzly result of a high speed 55 grainer that, at range would do immense damage to the tissue.
