Default RE: looking for a good all around varmint rifle

we can argue this all day but i think its better i know its faster proof there now i guess shooter is the factor in accuracy i hear 22-250 and the others r great guns but if i had to choose any except 204 id get 22-250 suppose be real nice
Actually, the 22-250 could be loaded with a 35 gr. berger bullet and achieve 4600+ fps! Getting that load to shoot accurately might be an issue, and barrel life would be an issue.
Also, the .223 WSSM can also reach the 4600 fps with a 40 gr. bullet! But far as I'm concerned, I'd never own a .223 WSSM!
The .204 is been prooven to kill coyotes very well, out to 300 yards and beyond. It will be a caliber that lives a long life, I beleive. Unlike the .223 WSSM! Is the .204 better than the 22-250, at what? I'd guess it's more fur friendly, and that would be a big plus for anyone wanting to sell the hides!
