Adding another Varminter

[Nomercy]

Hey yall, I' m thinking of adding a new Savage heavy bbl to my battery, money' s kind of tight, so I' m considering buying a 10FP in .223 from walmart instead of a 12FV in .22-250 (saves like $50), I really like the .22-250, but I don' t have a short action varminter or a bolt gun in .223, wondering if anyone could help shed some light on the differences in the two models?

I' ve never actually tried a .223 in a bolt gun, my AR' s haven' t been able to come close to my .22-250 bolt guns, but that' s comparing apples to oranges, anyone got actual experience to how differently they perform in bolt guns? I' m looking for another gun that can keep up with my present varmint battery, i.e. coyotes out to like 600yrds, I know the .22-250' s good that far, but how' s the .223?

I have a Savage Model 12-fv chambered in 223. I got it as a safety award from work so I do not know what it cost?
I had a trigger job done on it & it really will shoot one ragged hole @ 100-yards.
I owned a 22-250 for a few years before I got the 223. I do not know how I ever got by varmit hunting without a 223. The 223 uses less powder & takes longer to heat up than the 22-250.
I take the 22-250 & 223 both prarie dog & gopher hunting so one can cool down while the other heats up.
When I am just going out to call coyotes I pack the 223 more often than the 22-250.

I am not sure if the 223 is good out to 600-yards on coyotes? My shots when I call coyotes are always inside 400-yards. I have been told from a Nosler rep that if you load a 40-grain ballistic tip with a max load of Hodgdon Benchmark powder you can match the ballistics of the 22-250. I have not tried the load myself. I will be playing with that load in the next few weeks.
