Never shot the roberts round. Loved the 22-250 for gopher hunting. Was accurate and I could find it at pretty much any store. But if you reload that wont be too much of a factor for you.
I am assuming by "kick" you mean recoil... in which case, neither have much recoil... I personally wouldn't use a .22 centerfire on deer, I don't know of any jurisdiction where this is necessary, so why do it? But the /250 is great for fox/coyote/gophers. The Bob can definitely take deer and coyotes with ease... the /250 will be a lot cheaper to shoot... so if you are just punching paper, that will be a better choice... but IMO for paper punching a .223 would win over the /250.

Two 257's in my house, I don't keep a 22/250 long, I'm not enamoured with it unless I was in a Province that allows for deer hunting with 22 centerfires- even then I likely would not use it too much over the Bob!

I'll take a stab at "hounds" latest post ....
If in reference to the 22-250, brass should be no harder to obtain than 243 .... however, almost all supplies for reloading are a little tough to come by lately,
particularly powder, but bullets & primers as well. Shouldn't be hard to find dies at all. At Epps the other day... and did see most common RCBS die sets in stock,
including those for the 22-250 and 257 Roberts.
If in reference to the 257 Roberts, my experience has been that brass is somewhat harder to come by than either 22-250 or 243, but I had no trouble
rounding up 200 pieces of new 257 Roberts +P Winchester brass a couple of years ago.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe hard to find in Uruguay or Burma.
