[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 1969960, member: 113278"] I’ve owned several 22-250’s I think in the neighborhood of 10-12 total. I have owned 2 243’s as well. I still own a 22-250 it’s my go to rifle. I no longer own a 243 but now own a 6 creedmoor. Both sweethearts. It seemed to me the 243 always had ferocious muzzle blast compared to 22-250’s, but they also had a tad bit shorter barrels. Both great cartridges. Don’t over look the .223 it fills the gap between the 222 and 22-250. I’ve fox, coyote and deer hunted with 22 hornet, 221 fireball, 222,223, 22-250 and 243. Determine if pest damage is a factor or are you leaving them for vultures. In my experience the 22-250 and 243 usually leave you a severed fox carcass and a pile of guts. Bullet selection will help in this area. Of the cartridges I listed I only still own the 22-250. With a suppressor you may see impact hits but I have no experience with them. Hope it helps I don’t think you will go wrong with either cartridge. [/QUOTE]
