.223

Hey There ;
I have shot my share of P-dogs. A good .223 will seve you well.
It is up to you on what you want from it.
Many of the newer rifles out there are {for some reason} going to faster twist.
Mine are all 1-14 twist and will shoot the 40s and 55s very well. I have shots that are in the 700 plus yard range on P-dogs with my .223s. All Remington 700s. Good scopes and good Bi-pods will help.
I do not care for the faster Twist . Some do.

My .223 Rem PSS will shoot very well at 500 to 600 yards with a good scope and you knowing that scope. I handload only and can not coment on factory ammo. I also am not a fan of max loads.
The 22-250 will work also but gets warm fast.... They also wear faster.
The noise is much harsher too. But , still a very well designed and good shooter.
The .223 is easy to reload for. The .204 is small and gets harder to reload for .
 
I like the Rem 700 in .243/6mm for varmint. And plenty accurate for non-competitive target use out of the box.
 
My vote is for .223

Get the most CZ 527 .223 you can afford. I would watch the used guns though, as some guys can wear out a 22-250 bore in one summer. They don't last as long as the .223. Walmart has a good buy on new .223 HP loads that work ok.
