honest question here: Handloads can easily outperfrom factory loads...so comparing handload to factory load is unfair...I don't have the numbers in front of me, nor do I remember off the top of my head....factory to factory 22-250 is alot more gun than the .223 And simply judging by the case-capacity surely max handloads of the 22-250 are still above max handloads of the .223, is this right?

I use a 22-250 with cheap factory ammo. WHY? 'cause its what my dad had (a.k.a FREE GUN!) Big boom, big flop...is how just about every story ends.
