[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 1234326, member: 23486"] In all honesty, I think an honest assessment of what critter you intend to shoot the most and at what distance you will reasonably be shooting at. There is no best of all worlds. The 22-250 & 223 you have are both capable of 600, pretty easily I might add. As stated previously, wind will do you no favors with what I presume is a slow twist 22-250. Your 223 may offer a faster twist to stabilize a more wind forgiving bullet... the loss of velocity isn't that big of a deal as it is a relatively constant variable. Personally, I'd advise you to take what you've got and giv'em a good workout. Run them all if you can and if you feel one of them will fit the bill, you just saved yourself some money! You'll find that extended shooting sessions will most likely favor the 22cals, on both your shoulder and your wallet. I am not trying to discredit the venerable .270 however, I have a certain disdain for the old winny. Always have, most likely always will. So, shoot what you got first. If that doesn't do the trick, i'll recommend the 6.5 Creedmoor. She's an incredibly accurate cartridge and for a gent that doesn't reload, factory match ammo is surprisingly affordable. t [/QUOTE]
