[QUOTE="dogz, post: 1869606, member: 5429"] Back in the day I used to bother yotes and pd's a lot. I'd take 40-55 yotes a winter, calling come what may etc. I find them to be a fairly small target and hitting them well past 300 takes a bit of work. Often times things are moving fast (IE not tons of time to set for the shot), and some of the hits aren't exactly spot on. With that in mind personally I feel that there are mucho better rounds for yotes than the 22's. For serious work I jump right to the 6's! Between the 223 Ack and the 22/250 on PD's it's slam dunk the 223 ACK. Reason being, most serious pd shooting is sub 300 yards, so no need for all the horse power of the '250. Again this is my opinion (and experience) the reason to go with the Ack is to reduce trimming. I despise trimming and would rather be shooting. Lastly, and this is my opinion again but speed is Not the reason to go Ack, though you will hear some awfully spiffy speed numbers coming from that crowd often. Real world you'll pick up 50-100 fps at max and that's the end of sanity. But, real world you'll hear much more of that. Course those loads have never been pressure tested...:) Like other mentioned this may well just be a bolt face issue and that'll be your deciding factor. Roughly how many rounds a year do you shoot at pd's and yotes presently? Life's short, hunt hard! [/QUOTE]
