I am looking to build a very low recoil setup that I can informally shoot at 500-1k yards.
A fast twist 22 center fire should work for me in this capacity but my question is should I go 223 or 22-250.
Western and nosler show 556 data that goes toe to toe with the 224 valkyrie. The 223 wylde/556 would have better barrel life than the 250 I would think but the 250 adds a other 400 fps which helps drop and drift.
Basically, I want to build a 223 due to economics but worry the 22-250 offers too much of a velocity advantage to dismiss with the 80-90 grain bullets.
Would the 22-250 be that much better to use?
