223 pss rechambering

I know that this is quite a open question, but I am looking for suggestions. I recently obtained a 223 pss for a song and dance, and would like to rechamber it to something that shoots a little flatter. I was thinking about a 22-250 improved, and maintain the fast twist so I could use the heavy bullets. I do reload, but would prefer to have the ability to shoot factory ammo in the gun on occation. Am I on a good path, or does someone have a better caliber choice for the short action.

Depends on your mission. I'd rather stay with the small bolt face and chamber for the 223 Ackley Improved. It almost bridges the gap between small vermin and larger predators, especially at moderate ranges.

Good luck with your choice, LB
