22-250 and 223 wssm

[sealhunter]

I have seen the hundreds of comparisons with the 22 250 and 223,
and the edge at about 300 yrds.

What about the 223 wssm.

Flatter, and faster than the 22 250 in factory offerings.

Is the 223 wssm the 'ULTIMATE' varmint calibre?

Just stock up on brass now. - dan

I'd have to agree with dan about stocking up on brass now... the 223 WSSM doesn't seem like it has caught on with most shooters. I would personally rather have a 220 Swift myself, even if it is an old timer of a cartridge.

I'm still thinking that a 22-250 with a 1 in 10 or 1 in 9 twist would be better.

the Savage I have I think is a 1 in 12 so not good for the heavier bullets, but then I hear the faster twist barrels wear faster.

223 wssm not catching on.... well the ultimate varmit round will never be created, too much choice now and unless a new round has a significant edge its not going to take off.
