RE: .223 or 22-250 ????
Out to 300 yards there is not enough difference to worry about. After 300 yards you better be practicing a lot to be effective. If you practice a lot you have to worry about cost. If you worry about the cost of shooting the .223 wins hands down. I know that 98% of my shots will be 300 yards or less. I've owned both and now I only have a .223. Good luck with whatever you choose.
