[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 1523173, member: 43573"] I don’t hunt varmints with centerfire rifles at long range as a course of habit, only for some practice. My centerfire rifles in this class are for predators and as a rancher I don’t like taking chances on long shots. Sometimes there are exceptions and I will usually step up to (243 Win) 25-06 in that case. The bulk of my daytime stuff gets 22-250 and a 12 twist with a fast expanding bullet. The range runs from powder burns on the fur to a shade past 300 yds. The bulk of those shots fall into the 200 yd and a bit of change, it just works. It might be boring to some but it is reality. I worked with 223 for the past 13 years and have certainly killed a fair number of coyotes with them and will continue to do some but just getting back into 22-250 after a 13 year drought has made me appreciate the larger cartridge all the more. The other cartridges mentioned are all fine I am sure but they are really just tweaks on the master (22-250). The 22-250 AI certainly deserves honorable mention and it would not take much coaxing for me to try one. I can see less brass growth and less back thrust as very useful improvements.
